Fair enough.  That's why I posted the question, to find out if anyone 
had seen anything like this before.

No soft-updates.  Haven't gotten past the "thinking about it" stage yet.
What I'm thinking is to try it out on the news server first.

I'll add a check of /var/tmp to the cron job I'm going to set up to
watch and log free inode count over time.  Maybe it'll turn up
something.  All I know right now is there are more inodes free 28 hours
after reboot than there were immediately after reboot when only 2% were
in use.

Anyhow thanks for brain-storming on it.
