One of my Alphastations has crashed recently a couple of times, and the
crash analysis seems to have this as the cause:
_panic_string: 0xfffffc00005d1038 = "pvp: DMA Error by PIC device"
So my question: what *is* the PIC device?
The machine in question is an Alphastation 200 4/233, 128M memory,
ZLXp-L2 graphics, DU 4.0D with patch kit 1. It was also running low on
swap space at the time of crash, though it's not in lazy swap mode, so
it seems unlikely that would be deadly.
Thanks in advance for any ideas,
