	Yes, you're right.  The system does keep 10% extra in reserve.  We
weren't sure this was true until we filled up our user file system, but sure
enough, 'df' showed /usr as being 110% of capacity -- 0 free blocks.  I don't
know how you can go about changing how 'df' works, short of recoding it, but
the extra 10% is definitely usable (although when you get to that point, you'd
probably better start shoving stuff on tape and deleting fast -- the last 10%
of an Eagle goes pretty fast).
