There is a system monitor modified for XENIX 386 that was posted here some time
ago; it checks everything but memory (hooks are there but that part of the code
was not finished).  I've used it under 2.2 and 2.3 (must be recompiled) and it
was useful; it allowed me to kill some zombie processes I couldn't kill otherwise.

I also use the AMI diagnostics for hardware testing.  If the system were mine
I would swap motherboards and DRAM and try again; having an entire multi-tasking
system hang suggests that hardware might be a problem.

I have sources and binaries for "monitor" if needed; call 812 333 0450, login
of "bbs", go to xenix386 download area and look for monitor.tar.Z and
monitor2.2.Z (2.2 binary).
