splite@wdni.com's mailer seems to be using = as an escape (3D is `=').

anyhow, as far as this goes:

that probably signifies a corrupt file system; that looks to me like a
message from disk/kfs (or /fs).

it isn't surprising there are problems if the system hung up
and had to be reset before a disk/kfscmd halt could be done.
(if it happens again, wait about 30 seconds before resetting
to give it a chance to sync automatically; normally the f.s. will
then be consistent.)

disk/kfscmd 'check' will show the extent of the damage, but
the demo. system is small enough that there aren't any optional files;
something is bound to break later.

while it is possible to make the curdled file system consistent again using
the options to disk/kfscmd 'check', it's probably better to unpack the
distribution again into a remade file system.
