Jennie,

We noticed that email being sent to you was bouncing and that the
reconfiguration of the email that Kevin setup apparently has not been
done.  The bouncing of the email was a vivid reminder of what I saw
last week/the week before when you were having massive problems with
ROUTE PP BATCH invocations, so I decided to logon and snoop around.

I found the following in /home/mcidas/help:

-rw-r--r--   1 ldma     mcidas     16320 Mar 25 13:18 FRAMENH.001
-rw-r--r--   1 ldma     mcidas      3072 Mar 18 11:32 Frame1.0
-rw-rw-rw-   1 ldma     mcidas      3072 Feb 17 13:37 Frame2.0
-rw-rw-rw-   1 ldma     mcidas      3072 Feb 17 13:37 Frame3.0
-rw-rw-rw-   1 ldma     mcidas      3072 Feb 17 13:38 Frame4.0
-rw-r--r--   1 ldma     mcidas   1532000 Mar 25 13:18 SYSIMAGE.SAV
-rw-r--r--   1 ldma     mcidas     45056 Mar 25 13:18 TERMCHAR.001

I waited until a PP BATCH invocation finished (waited for only three
shared memory segments for 'ldma' (startxcd.k, ingebin.k, and ingetext.k))
and then I deleted the above files.

I will continue to look in on windfall throughout the day to see if
the situation occurs again (I will fix it if/when I see it) and to see
if anything jumps out at me.
