If you are not running the latest venti code, do so.
(The binary from /n/sources/plan9/386/bin/venti
is the latest code, dated October 3.)

If you are running the latest venti, please send me
the output of 

	http://backup.pdos.csail.mit.edu/proc/all

when venti has hung.

I suspect you are running an old venti that is suffering
from an already-fixed bug.
