Yesterday I asked about a machine crash, which gave me an error (see below),
and also was unable to produce a crash dump.
I'm still waiting for the REAL anwser on the cause of the crash.
I received instead a suggestion to use DIA (by Thomas Leitner, I'm in contact)
and three (Stuart Davidson Spalding, Stephen MC.Vialatte) about the inability
to write the crash dump, suggesting lack of space in /var/adm/crash.
I believe that's not the case, I have 130 MB on /usr (where /var is), and
the current crash dump I have is 30 MB. Could it be much larger than that ?
I reiterate below the MAIN question

should I worry, call in DEC or just wait for the next crash ? Now all
is up and running
