I came home today to find skeeve dead of a "panic: NMI (kernel parity error)",
with a dump of the registers and some other pertinent info. In particular,
the pid was 0, which is the swapper.

Does anyone know what could cause such a panic? Hardware, software, stray
cosmic rays? Should I hurry to get my 3B1 under maintenance contract in
anticipation of motherboard problems? Any and all advice, experience,
hard facts, would be appreciated. (Particularly from the ATT gurus?)

I will be glad to supply the info that was on the screen if anyone wants it.

Thanks,
