Here, we have several people doing heavy development on a 386-25 and with
Norton installed, were were getting two or three panics a day.  When we
removed Norton, the machine stayed up for a month without a hiccup.

True, it may have been a tuning problem but, since this was a production
machine, it didn't take very long to decide that the benifits of Norton
wern't worth the headaches.
