Should also add the circumstances - I was doing

tar cvfz hub/afile lots-of-stuff
where hub is mounted via NFS to another computer.  I tried this several
times.  The first time it quite with an error something like:
gzip: Protocol error
So I restarted it.  It froze the internet.  So I did
ifconfig ep0 down
ifconfig ep0 up
The internet unfroze.  So I restarted the tar job.  Then the computer
froze.

I don't think I got the exact sequence of events, but this is the sort
of thing that has been going on.
