No, you have a Sun-3/160 running SunOS; SunOS is not 4.2BSD.  It is
*based on* 4.2BSD, and hence inherits some of its bugs, but has some
fixed and other new ones thrown in.  In particular, you are running one
of the SunOS releases that has the text table bug added.  The best
solution is to upgrade to a more recent SunOS.  You can also delay the
inevitable by recompiling the kernel with a larger NTEXT, either by
changing the rule that determines NTEXT from the configuration-file
`maxusers' parameter (found in `param.c'), or by raising maxusers directly.
Short of doing that, the fix is to reboot.
