Yeah, I was hoping you'd seen this bug before and could just tell us what
to do :) But looking for versions I can only find 0.9a?

Well, everytime I run main() { while(malloc(100000)) fork(); } it dies
almost right away (say after 2 seconds). I realize this puts the machine
to some extreme situations,but with normal usage we'd get 1-2 panics
a day.

Yeah, I just realized this, oh well, my fault, tomorrow we'll try the
latest current we can get ahold of to see if helps.

It could be our mother board as well as it crashed doing Norton Diagnostic
on the interrupt test.

Oh well, thanks for your reply.
