Subject:   vm_fault: pager read error on NFS filesystems.

When a user deletes/changes a running executable over NFS it results
in lots of "vm_fault: pager read error" messages. However, the
program seems to keep running indefinitely, and logging messages.
Someone running a parrallel program recompiled and added 184888
lines to /var/log/messages in a little over an hour.

Would it be reasonable for the kernel to send a SIGSEGV or SIGKILL
to such processes rather than try to page bits of them in forever?
Or should I do something gross like write a script that checks
/var/log/messages for errent processes?

	David.
