Summary: Excalibur EFS is crashing my SPARC10

I am currently administering a SUN SPARC10 DB server runing
Excalibur EFS 3.0.  I know very little about this DB,
and have been having some difficulty with the system crashing.
When this crash occurs, there is no core dump, no panic,
nothing.  The system just totally locks up.

Does anyone have any suggestions 1) on running Excalibur EFS
or 2) on extracting any information from a system that is frozen?
It cannot be accessed via the network when it is locked, it is just 
dead.  It must be physically powered off and restarted.

I have increased my swap space significantly, my next step 
may be to purchase more memory (currently 32Mb).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
