- It means that elcsd (the error logger thing that ULTRIX uses
- instead of what everyone else uses) is getting more than it can cope
- with, or that elcsd has died. Do a "uerf -R | more" to see what was
- spewing so many messages at you. Also, you might want to make sure
- that /usr/adm/syserr/`hostname` is not eating your whole disk. Elcsd
- doesn't have the brains to ever truncate this file so eventually
- if your system logs enough errors it will grow larger than the
- national debt.
