Hi...

	Just want to verify that this to is a  hardware problem vs
a software one.

	I just started up 9 make processes in /usr/src/lib, and 
had just started up a 10th on /usr/src/gnu/lib when it panic'd.  
I'm using -O2 -m486 -pipe, since someone mentioned that -pipe is 
a *really* good way to brutalize the system...

	The panic:

Fatal Trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address 	= 0x700c
fault code		= supervisor write, protection violation
instruction pointer	= 0x8:0xf0106ae1
current process		= 4244 (sh)
interrupt mask		= <there wasn't one??>
kernel: type 12 trap, code=0
Stopped at _closef+0x85: decw 0xc(%esi)

	And "trace" shows:

closef+0x85
close+0x83
syscall
Xsyscall
--- syscall 6, eip = 0x42e45, ebp = 0xefbfdcfc ---

	Now, the machine has 16Meg of RAM and was, the last time
I checked for it panic'd, using around 25% of the swap (60Meg/218Meg)

	If this looks like a hardware issue again, no probs, I'll keep
beating that horse, but this one I haven't seen before, so figured it 
wouldn't hurt to ask.

	And, of course, no core dump :(
