DEBUG: Request for packages/All/XXX.tgz from NFS "proc: table is full" DEBUG: Caught SIGPIPE while trying to install the XXX package DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1 where XXX was the name of package after package (once this started, all the rest of my package load requests got the same treatment). Obviously, this sounds like something isn't doing a "wait()" that ought to be. I'm sorry that I don't know just how many packages were loaded before this started to happen -- after it was all done, 37 packages showed up in pkg_info -I -a as being added.
