About once a week, shortly after midnight (00:03), listserv crashes.  A CORE file is created -- the darn thing is huge. :-)

Usually I see the following in the log:

Actually get a lot of these FIO events throughout the week.  I'm going to erase the l-psuadm files because they always seem to be involved.  Thought I'd mention it to the group first in case anyone wanted to look at anything.

My FIOC settings are
        FIOC_TARGET=20000
        FIOC_TRIM=24000
        FIOC_WARNING=35000
Should I crank these up a bit?  We have 2900 lists, 628000 subscribers and 9600 notebook files.
