I have a 133mhz P5 systm running V3.3 solid since last september. Last
sunday evening it started panicing regularly with a kernel mode page
fault. It looks like anytime procmail runs the system rolls over. I have
disabled and the system is stable again. Of course, the purpose of this
machine is to send and receive mail so that is not a good solution. I have
taken a crash and it follows at the end.

The things I have done:
 - checked for obvious intrusions
 - re-installed procmail
 - restored from a know good backup (pre-crashing)
 - removed all interface cards
 - changed memory (all but lower 8mb since soldered on MB)
 - disabled external cache
 - rebuilt kernel w/debug

None of these helped

I am at a loss at what to look for next.
Anybody have any suggestions??

Thanks
