 what does out of whack mean?

Off the rails, perhaps.  I presume that it's one of those English
expressions (like doubtedly or all but...) that originally meant
(rightly) the exact opposite of what it (wrongly) does now: you whack
something into place, so it's out of whack if it's not right any more.

Lucio.

Presumably he means his carefully laid out rio windows get out
of kilter (or alignment) when they all get resized. You need a
layout engine to keep them looking nice and proportionate.

 The older versions of drawterm just map a large view to fill

thanks for the explanation. i
hadn't quite realised this, as
i usually resize only once, to
full screen, and never reduce after that.

i should also have taken a look at the code.

 I think the idea is it's best if the trouble report includes
 a coherent description of the problem, so strangers don't have
 to guess.

That idea is out of whack.

 What am I missing?

That mount(1) here needs a spec argument:

cpu% mount /srv/macmini mac Users/mva

That works.

What made me overlook this was perhaps an unconscious presupposition
that, if only one tree is specified in the server's /etc/exports,
there should be no need to specify it.

  that's quite wierd.  either (a) we're corrupting memory on a regular
  basis, and your machine has an unfortunate memory layout that
  gets hit by this issue, or (b) there actually is something special about
  your machine.

 I don't know. I will check today evening.
 
  * have you tried memtest86.  i expect it to pass, but it's always good
  to be sure.
 
 No, I haven't. I will do that too tonight.

Ran memtest86 (booted off a USB stick running grml) and it didn't show
any memory errors.

  * can you point me at a specs page?
 
 http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices/acer-c7-chromebook
 
 The spec of my machine is this:
 
 - CPU - Celeron 1007u
 - 16GB SSD
 - 2 GB RAM
 (rest as per the above page)
 
 I modified the boot rom to have coreboot + seabios payload so that I can
 install a non-chromeos system. It used to happily run Debian but was
 locking up occasionally. Perhaps it has a bad RAM or a faulty DDR
 initialization in the coreboot.
