Okay, I've got a suspect.

I got it past the fsck by going ino Single User and doing
the file systems one disk at a time.  (Two on this
machine).  I suspect the power supply has gone marginal.

My spare is much bigger than the what I need for this machine;
I'll wait on a replacement if I can.  And I'll let you all
know.

Thanks to those who've written.
