Our first panic under Digital Unix 3.2D: Advice required

Hello,

This weekend, we experienced our fist system panic. It happened in the
night during our backups with vdump + clonefsets. I think the crash is
related to the use of the clonefset command. We started using this only
last week and never had any crash in the preceding 8 months of operation.

We think the crash is due to ADVFS. In the uerf output we see:

    CPU panic: N1 = -1047

In var/adm/messages we have: ADVFS exception, cpu panic bla bla bla...

That's the only (little) information we have concerning the crash. We would
like to use the /var/adm/crash/*.0 files produced by the crash to determine
the reason of the crash, why and when it happened exactly. Can anyone help
and tell me what/how we should investigate ?

We were planning the installation of the ADVFS consolidated patch next
week, but it seems the system wouldn't wait :-)

                                                Thanks in advance !
