} A message from tq:
} pinuse a negative number; maybe tq/timetable needs higher totals

     This message is wrong.  First pinuse is percentage in use of
devices of a given class.  That number can not be negative.  This
message is triggered by pinuse being greater then 100.  The second
error is that it's tq/classtable that would need updating, not
tq/timetable.  One problem I've found on my system, is that if
somebody is logged off improperly (i.e. by somebody doing kill -9 on
all their processes), it can leave a stale utmp entry.  This stale
entry messes up the totals.  Anyways, there are a whole bunch of bugs
in tq (both portability and general).  I have a large set of patches
for tq.  I'm just waiting for the latest version of idled, which
somebody was supposed to look into getting me a couple of times.
