Yes, that's a good point. It usually _is_ a symptom; but it might be
a symptom that you've got an expensive query, and Solaris's foot-gun
approach to handling such cases is a little painful. (We didn't give
up on Solaris because of cs problems, BTW; but I have to say that AIX
seems to be a little less prone to self-DOS on this front than
Solaris was. If you really want to hear me rant, ask me some time
about ecache and Sun support.)
