message "Bus error".
"bus error" is a signal inheritted from someone's minicomputer (DEC
maybe?).
More common on 68000-based machines, but stemming from certain
instructions needing their operands to be word-aligned. If the operand
wasn't properly aligned, it caused a bus fetch error.
When it occurs it generally points to some kind of software error (such
as executing ramdom code*) or (on toys) memory errors.
Another possibility -- wrong architecture RPM (ie, IA32 RPM that
somehow got installed on s390 via --force or somesuch).
I;m a bit sceptical about that, but if wrong-architecture binaries can
do it then unpackaged-binaries (think plugins and "install these
binaries" instructions) are more likely.
It's just crossed my mind:
Where is the "net ads" instruction being issued? Windows client?
Where is the bus error occuring? Linux server?
Have you asked the vendor?
