> changes. Our machine is a Sun 4/280 with 128Mb memory running SunOS
> 4.1.

> Here are the first few lines from the console at the time of the crash:
>
> BAD TRAP
> pid 14086, `sendmail': Data fault
> kernel read fault at addr=0xf83a4fb4, pme=0x0
> Bus Error Reg 80<INVALID>
> pc=0xf8090c94, sp=0xf81fad30, psr=0x801ac2, context=0x0

Responses fell into 3 categories:

        1. Install patch 1000092 (vm performance with large memory)
        2. Install patch 1029939 (register window bug)
        3. Upgrade to 4.1.1.
        4. Replace CPU board.

I plan to do 3 real soon now. Meantime I have done 1 and 2. So far, so good.
