I'm trapped (type 8) (4.1bsd question) Article-I.D.: rayssd.1115 Posted: Tue May 3 08:27:22 1983 Received: Thu May 5 09:25:14 1983 References: uw-beave.559 A trap type 8 is a segmentation fault in the kernel. I don't know if you have changed the kernel at all, but if you have then all local changes should be looked at suspiciously. We were getting trap type 8 faults for a while and finally found an error in a locally developed device driver. I don't know if this has been any help in the problem, but I thought it might be useful to hear from someone who has had similar problems and resolved them.
