  I believe that an attempt is made to determine if a sync can be done
or not. If the kernel thinks the in-memory info is bad it should NOT try
to sync, since this may keep fsck from recovering anything. I seem to
recall installing a patch in SysIII to prevent the sync.

  Or you could use a version which doesn't panic ;-(
