Not yet - we use tfs, so we would have heard by now.

We IPL with some frequency, so the issue is moot. We have had to increase
the size of the tfs used though on a couple of our systems.
We also cron skulker, so once we see a problem, we add it to skulker.
Don't know if things like logrotate have been ported to the big iron.
