system is:

NetBSD kaben 1.4.3_ALPHA NetBSD 1.4.3_ALPHA (kaben) #1: Tue Aug  8 13:32:51 PDT 2000 aaron@kaben:/usr/projects/NetBSD/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/kaben i386

this kernel hasn't changed since last year, but in the last week or so
it's been panicing almost daily.

Jun  8 11:25:33 kaben savecore: reboot after panic: trap

can anybody give me any ideas as to what's causing this or how to debug
it?

(gdb) bt

    at ../../../../arch/i386/i386/trap.c:310

should I send-pr, or is this hardware-related?  and how do I tell the
difference?
