This is the 2nd time that our accounting has shut down.  The symptoms
are no accounting (not even for myself :-) and A message
"Accounting Suspended" printed on the console.

Known facts:
{
	VAX 750; 4.2BSD

	lastcomm showed nothing unusual completing before the cutoff.

	Root was not on the system.

	The filesystem that the accounting file was on was 96% full
	but there were no complaints about filesystem full near the
	cutoff.

	Accounting is normally always on.

	We clean the accounting files every day.

	We are a binary site (yea, both of us :-).

}

	Sure would be nice if "accton" put itself into the accounting
	file as it shut things down.  I know that bypasses the normal
	mechanisms but I can wish can't I.

	Please respond by email if you have any suggestions.
