Hi alpha gurus!

I need your help because my AS 4100 5/466 (3CPU, 1Gb RAM, dunix 4.0d 3rd
patch) has suddently chrashed (and automatically restarted) with only a
criptic message left in /var/adm/message:

Mar 18 16:07:37 botticelli vmunix:

in /var/adm/crash I found the following files:

    1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 2 Mar 18 16:07 bounds
   30 -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 30412 Mar 18 16:08 crash-data.0
 9440 -rw-r----- 1 root system 9661808 Mar 18 16:07 vmunix.0
14584 -rw-r----- 1 root system 14927360 Mar 18 16:07 vmzcore.0

but I don't know what to do with them. I have dia but I don't know how
to use it either.

I will be glad of any suggestion.
Greetings to all from Italy,

Emanuele
