Interesting.  I've currently got all the software on one drive, and the 
message base on a second physical drive.  Maybe I'll try rearranging things.
It hasn't happened since, but seems like every few months I'll fire up the 
local node and see that dread message "Can't open message tracking subsystem" 
and discover a blowout.
