Well, now that the Delta MicroSystems Drive is finally running (you can
all start sleeping at nite again!), it's time to move on to my next little
situation.  I've found a strange message in the aforementioned file, which
appeared some 9 hours before my system went down due to an st1 timeout
error message that somehow filled the / file system. (No-one was using the
tape drive at that time.)

Anyway the message appeared as:

Oct 26 03:52:25 firma vmunix: mem0: soft ecc addr b17e0 syn 
9b<S32,S4,S2,S0,SX> 57 U1457

(all on one line, of course)

I have absolutely no idea what caused this message.  I thought maybe it
came from fparel, but I figured that would have a declaration that that's
who sent it; besides, it runs much earlier that 3:50 AM.

Anyone have any clues?

BTW, I'd like to thank everyone out there who graciously offered their
help with my Delta MicroSystems embroglio.  I really appreciate all the
response!  It's a cold hard world, and it's nice to know other people are
_also_ wasting their company's time and money reading the net! ;^)

Thanx again.
