	Well I have a bite of a problem, we are running Ultrix 2.0 on a VAX
11/780, and for some resaon (LATELY) are system has been crashing and I
check the dump of the core (adb -k) and it says that it died in mchk.  Well
I have a couple of quesitons!  What IS mchk?  And what can I do about it so
that it stops crashing, it crashs like every 2-3 hours.  All it does is
PANIC and brings it self down, so what should I do, but I have one bad thing
to tell you, and that is that we don't gave sources to the kernal, so I
guess I am sorta stuck wouldn't you say.  Well I wish one of you people out
there who is smart, can tell me what is going on here, because we can't
really get any work done if the system is down every couple of hours.  Well
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
