With great frequency lately, we have experienced core dumps by common
commands like ls and cc running on our SUN4/260 w/SUNOS4.0.  We don't have
the SUNOS4.0.1 installed because last time we did it screwed up our tape
drive.  Our solution now is to reboot the machine, which clears up the
problem, but is obviously a pain. I realize with such scant information it
would be hard to diagnose this problem, but we haven't figured out what
circumstances cause it yet. Does anyone have any advice about where to
look for problems?

Thanks
