csCode = 8
Does this help? What other fields would be of use?

Finder B1-6.1.4
System B1-6.0.4

No, only occasionally do I get the error, nor is it easily repeatable.
When I start up MacMinix, but do not login, I will get half a dozen error 
messages in a couple of hours.

BTW, I am still getting occasional system bombs while running MacMinix. What
is the situation with other MacMinix users? For me this happens about twice
per week.
