Out of inodes. SunOS4.0, gripe.

Well, the software from which C news gets its idea of "how many free
inodes" could conceivably cough up MAXLONG or something like that. 

>(Assumption: C news will work when its disk areas are NFS-remote.)

Unfortunately, in the case of the current NFS protocol, there's no way
to find out how many free files there are on a remote file system, even
if said file system supports the notion, which is why e.g.  a "df"
asking for the number of inodes gives you garbage over NFS.  The next
protocol revision should fix this.
