Well, I have a reproduceable panic...

SCO Xenix SysV/286 v2.2.1, with the Public Domain PTY driver posted
for SCO. When I:

% tar cf - . | compress >> /dev/FIFO &
% dd if=/dev/FIFO bs=24k | bundle /dev/rfd096ds15 1200k 24k

It whirrs away for about thirty seconds, then panics as:

TRAP 000D in SYSTEM
ax=A566 bx=B956 cx=0000 dx=0000 si=0166 di=0000
bp=038A fl=0217 uds=0018 es=0090
pc=0038:3BFF ksp=036C

panic: general protection trap

and then it shut down, waiting for power off or a keypress to reboot.

Compress in the pipe above is the Xenix modified Compress 4.0, /dev/FIFO
is a named pipe made with "/etc/mknod /dev/FIFO p", and bundle is the
"stream in, write to multiple tapes" program posted only a few days ago
by Bill Davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.UUCP).

This happenned twice in a row. Is there more information I can provide,
maybe a fix I don't know about?

Thanks
