   Everyone -

    As an example of something that crashes 2.1.5 (fairly quickly, I
   may add) and will not likely be determined by 'crashme'.  I offer
   the following shell script.

    I don't think it has anything to do with my particular problem,
   since the panic isn't for the same reason.  I just wanted to show 
   it as an example of a similar type of problem that crashme would not 
   diagnose.

    If anyone has access to a LINUX box - I'd be interested in hearing
   what happens if you perform the same test there...

	   #!/bin/sh
	   mkdir loser
	   while true
	   do
	     touch loser/abc
	     mv loser/abc loser/def
	   done

----
Odd. My 2.1.5 machine crashes (once a month or so) while running 
/etc/weekly. I assume this shellscript kills the machine because of
name collisions in the renames?
