In the last 3 days, a have had a Personal Workstation 500au and an AlphaStation 500/400 both crash
to the >>> prompt with the same error.
I had recently installed the latest patch kits on each of these, and each had been up since then
(about a month ago).
When the first happened, I though maybe there was a hardware glitch. I didn't understand why it
didn't auto-reboot. There was a message about "invalid HWRPB" in both cases.
This has happened exactly once on each station.
The log shows (for the more recent crash)
Jan 4 13:31:56 fudge vmunix: trap: invalid memory read access from kernel mode

Any explanations?
