BTW, the mail folder contains now parts of two web pages in netscape,
which I had exited much earlier.

Nes.
Let denote "C" compilation with TC,
"1" a full crash (i.e. no reaction at all),
"0" Numlock and Ctrl-Alt-Del work,
"c" cold boot,
"w" warm boot.
Then I found the wollowing pattern: C 1 c 0 w 0 w... C 1 c 0 w 0 w
It seems that it depends on what is in memory.
It crashed completely when I had used TC first.
