I got a rather ominous message from our old Digital Personal
Workstation 433au. After searching the archives, it looks like
the problem has been dealt with before by various folks on the
list, but alas, I can not seem to dig a summary, only the question.
So, I'm afraid I have to ask again.
The message I got:
======================= Binary Error Log event =======================
EVM event name: sys.unix.binlog.hw.machine_check

to find anyone at Compaq that can help me install WEBES properly) spits
out the following:

From what I could find, it apparently is a relatively benign error
(something to do with memory), but I just wanted to see what everyone
thought before I have to deal with the h*ll that which is the Compaq
support. I never seem to be able get a quick answer for them....
Thanx.
