"poe" is a decstation 3100 running ultrix 4.1. it recently crashed
for no apparent reason. here's a stack trace to show what happened,
and the most useful of the uerf messages.
nothing obvious in here that clues me in on what's up, I'm writing it
off for now to a stray gamma ray.

Just yesterday morning I also got a crash for no apparent reason.
According to uerf it was also the result of an unaligned access. This
is the first time in 2 years we've had a random crash, and I'd like to
find out the cause.
We have a DecStation 3100 running Ultrix 4.0. At the time the load
average was below 2 and there were 4 users logged on. The last processes
running were a login and a process spawned by cron that did an rsh on
another machine (a sun). Neither the rsh nor the login completed.
uerf shows -

Which isn't particularly useful for me, as I haven't had much experience
reading such things (it doesn't go down very often)
dbx gives :

dbx version 2.0
Type 'help' for help.
