I have installed the Evans' protected mode changes seemingly without any
problems, and when I boot the OS, I am greeted with
Memory size = 4096K  MINIX = 127K  RAM disk = 260K  Available=3709K.
The problem comes after the "Login:" prompt appears.  Randomly the
machine is locked up at this point and will not accept any typed
characters.  A hard reboot is necessary to recover.  At other times,
the machine will accept my login name, but then it issues the message
"Memory Fault - core dumped", and then issues the prompt on the next
line.  After that, everything works normally, I believe.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?  Any help is gratefully
accepted.
