hi.

i'm having a fair amount of 'random lossage' at the moment.  what this
means is that things just dump core.  sometimes it is from SIGSEGV,
sometimes from SIGILL, sometimes from SIGBUS ..

most of the time, it's a part of a compile that does it -- if i restart
it, it's works 'ok' (at least, until it happens again).

i *think* it started happening after i swapped some simms around in
my sparcs.  i had this:  3x4M+1x16M in both.  i changed it to, 2x16M+
2x4M in my elc and 4x4M in my ipx.

i tried `test /memory' from the prom, and twice it did not give any
errors.

any one have any ideas ?
