Thanks to everyone for the help so far (including the e-mail I've received, I
will try to reply to my mail soon but my thesis beckons!). I can see I should
have posted in the original article the details leading up to the GURU.

Firstly, I wasn't running my own code. I was playing with VirusX and ZeroVirus
from a fish disk. {Sorry, I don't have that disk with me at the moment so I am
unable to give anyone the version numbers etc.} After quitting from VirusX I'd
tried running ZeroVirus twice in a row. On quitting (via the main screen) Zero
Virus the second time I got the above GURU.

I can assume that 1 of the two programs was likely to have set up the CPU trap
no?

Thanks again to all.

yours truly,
Anjin_San.
