well, after behaving for 4 days my machine went down again, i have copied the
onscreen verbiage below, at the time i was ssh'ed in form a workstation and
running a grep process, i get very similar messages each time this machine
crashes but with a different process named, if anyone can tell from this
stuff what in particular might be happening i would be very interested
because i can't trust this box to do anything at all if i don't know when it
might just decide to crash, i had to copy the on screen messages by hand
because the last time it crashed i couldn't find this stuff in any of the logs
in hope :-)
bascule
