Say, this system is locking disk blocks!  
It just crashed, and I reloaded it from scratch.
Before the crash, the number of available blocks on #0,#1,#13 
respectively were 320,380,201 .  (I checked this just before the 
crash.)  After the crash, the number available was 547,552,257 
+ I dumped out a 171 block crash file on CRASH;.
I noticed this phenomenon about 2 weeks ago when the system crashed 
and RWK reloaded it, and mentioned it to him, but I wasn't as certain 
then, so didn't report it.
I wonder if this has something to do with swapping disk somehow using 
user blocks or whatever, and the system's marking them at high-use time 
getting screwed up.  Whatever, something is doing this!

        creates an inferior.  It should set the bit saying to fail if the job
        doesn't exist.

    Even better would be to have the USR: device obey the same convention
    as the DSK: device, i.e. if you open for reading then it is an error
    if it doesn't exist.  RWK, you said once DDT could be fixed if ITS
    were so changed, is that still true?
Yes, it's still true.

and CROCK loses its center point, writing randomly.

Both of these are new bugs -- CROCK ran perfectly before today...

DCROCK fails totally to get its digit positioning right on VT100s.
