kernel panic--how to analyze crash dump?

Hi managers,

After nearly 2 years of dutiful service, one of our AlphaPC 500 MHZ
machines running 4.0B panicked, with
    "trap: invalid memory read access from kernel mode"
announcing the crash in the messages file. The three crash files
appeared in /var/adm/crash, but I have no idea what to make of them.
I've seen in past summaries that this message may or may not indicate
a hardware problem--we haven't started running any new software in
a while.

Can anyone give me some guidance in how to make sense of the crash data?
The text file isn't much help, at least at first glance.

Thanks,
