[comp.unix.xenix.sco] ps seek error on Xenix 2.3.2

chan@aim1.uucp (Neville Chamberlain) (10/23/90)

We have a site running the above operating system, and get a "ps: seek error"
when trying to do "ps" or "ps -def".  The problem seems to appear only when
more than 5 or 6 users have signed on to the system... at this stage a reboot
is the only cure.

Any ideas?  Thanks in anticipation...
