Hello!

I got over 200 megabytes of mail from some loop on the list.
This made it kinda hard to use this system. I had to boot
an alternate root.

Script started on Wed Feb 17 15:59:19 1999
# ls -la /mnt/var/spool/mail
total 215024
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Feb 17 15:58 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 1024 Jul 22 1998 ..
