I don't know what to attribute this to yet, but 3 times since I completed 
my machine upgrade, the keyboard and mouse have locked up.  Maybe more 
than that.

I have a second machine, from which I can successfully ping the locked up 
machine, but things like rlogin and ftp don't elicit any response.  I've 
tried to see if it's time, but a 30 minute wait didn't clear anything up.

This always happens when I try something big, first time when I was 
trying to compile Modula-3, which quite possibly ate all my 96 megs of 
swap (yeah, it does that).  This last time, I did it while I was trying 
to start up Mathematica (for the fist time, after getting the license 
info set up for the new machine).

My only choice so far has been to hit reset, then to reboot single user 
and manually fsck all partitions.  Gotta do that, because I get a 2nd 
panic from the PCI driver if I don't.

Arghh, maybe I should have written down the second panic info?  I don't 
know if the PCI is involved in the initial lockups or not.

Anyhow, the new machine is a Tyan Tomcat, P5-166, 32M RAM, 512 PBC cache.
Disks interface via an NCR pci controller.
