Kris,

For the record, we ran the following for about 30 minutes, with no ill 
effect:

   #!/bin/sh
   exec >> /var/log/panic
   exec 2>&1
   echo
   echo `date` "-- trying to panic"
   while [ 1 ]
   do
       /sbin/mount /backup/
       /bin/rm -rf /backup/foo
       /bin/cp -R /usr/bin /backup/foo
       /sbin/umount /backup/
       echo -n '.'
   done


At this point our plan is to cross our fingers and wait for 6.1.

Thanks for all your efforts!



chad
