        Dear managers,

                I'm actually dealing with a *BIG* problem on a new
        machine we have recently acquired for departmental services.

        The machine is an AlphaServer 1000 4/233 running an unpatched
        version of DU. 3.2C (128 MB RAM - 512 MB SWAP). Typical services
        are Internet applications, editing and educational support for
        various laboratories.

        The machine is pretty unstable reporting at various intervals
        a kernel memory access violation with the machine hanging up
        (no kernel dump and no more activity). Until now it has been
        impossible to find some correlation with number of users, number
        of processes, number of hours since last boot and so on. You
        can expect this every time (0 or 35 users), (one hour after
        boot or 24 days [maximum interval]) and ...

        Any suggestions from the net (eventually, any suggestions on
        how to obtain a kernel dump) ???

        Thanks a lot [I'll summarize]

        Marco Campani
