   i got this message on a GT: 

   WARNING: Process showcase (16519) killed due to bad page read (errno:5)

This one is easy:  you are running a binary which is NFS mounted.  If
you use the "nointr" option on your NFS mount, the problem goes away.
Maybe some NFS guru can give you a good low-level explanation.  I
think it has to do with signals interrupting the NFS calls.
