I've been having the same problem for some time. I called the A/UX hotline
(we got the freebee in the mail) and was rather disappointed by their response.
The hotline person suggested that I try turning off accounting, NFS, etc until
the problem went away. I asked if there was any way to get a crash dump and to
examine it - the person on the other end of the phone did not even know what
crash was...

Well, I still have a machine that 'locks' up every few days.
I would NOT recommend purchasing the so-called 'hotline support' line until 
they get their act together.
