of course.  the only problem is that these a 4G machines, with 8G of
swap, and not a lot happening.  like no problems building kernel, world,

that an even kinkier thing.  these machines have no email other than
shipping their nightly logs out.  the database is negligible.  if i
delete it all before the nightly run that crashes, it still crashes.

running exim-4.69-3.  

this is why i wanna try just not running it to see if anything else
starts to act funny.

i am wondering about things like compiler bugs.  but old compiler geeks
suspect that path way too often.
