Hello osf-managers -

We're running a DECstation 3000/M400, with 64 meg of memory and a 155 MB swap
partition. It runs OSF/1 v1.2 Rev 10. (Yes, I know...) More and more often
recently the machine has crashed with a "kernel memory fault" - according to
the crash-data file ...

trap: invalid memory read access from kernel mode

    faulting virtual address: 0xffffffff84dc7618
    pc of faulting instruction: 0xfffffc000029c31c
    ra contents at time of fault: 0xfffffc000029c2ec
    sp contents at time of fault: 0xffffffff8d90ba38

panic: kernel memory fault
syncing disks... 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 failed

I have run memx for an extended period of time and no errors have shown
up. Does anyone have any hints as to where I could look to find a
solution to this problem? Could it be a bad block on the swap partition?
