I have a clone 286 system running SCO-Xenix 2.3.2 that is getting a 
trap error every few days.   I have seen various different trap numbers
occuring on other machines (i.e. Altos) and have never been able to get
any good answer as to what causes which errors.--sometimes they blame
software, sometimes hardware.  
Does anyone have a list of what these trap numbers mean and what the
causes commonly are?
Any input on this topic would be appreciated.

The specific message I get is as follows: (the registers vary somewhat)

Trap 000D in system
ax=0040 bx=F9C6 cx=0000 dx=0110 si=0018 di=03D4
bp=0392 fl=0286 uds=0018 ex=0110
pc=0060:3B93 ksp=0378
prtrap: PANIC: general protection trap
Safe to power off
    -or-
Press any key to reboot

Thanks for any help.
