Hello world!

Has anyone else been running into the following two panics on SCO Xenix
V/386 2.3.2????

"mffree: PANIC: page is locked"
followed by:
"mfcvt: PANIC: zero reference count"

and

"Trap 0000000E in SYSTEM"
(register dump)

I recall there being something in this group about paging problems with
Xenix 2.3.  Does either of these sound like the same trouble?  The first
blow-up is by far the most common (the TRAP E first showed up last night --
first time in several months).

Any help appreciated; the machine we're seeing this one checks out
hardware-wise, including memory and disk/controllers.  It is the only one
with two controller boards in it -- and it's also the only one crashing.

Is there a bug in the second-controller support perhaps?
