I don't have all the info you want, but I can tell you the problem.  Last
week our MVII crashed twice in 2 days with similar messages.  Our field
service engineer knows little or nothing about Ultrix, so he called his
support center, read the messages to them, and they not only told him there
was a bad memory board, but they told him which board.  He replaced the
board, and all is now well.
