Hi,

  I have been trying to figure out what is going on here.  Basically, the 
system will drop out of a system recompile with a sig 6 or 11.  This indicates 
a memory issue, but memory utilities that walk the memory (like norton's 
ndiags) don't show a thing.  The system is configured as follows:

  - P120
  - 256KB cache
  - 64M Ram
  - Triton motherboard 
  - Adaptec 1542cf SCSI
  - ET4000 PCI card (no name)
  - 3C509 card

It is really disturbing.  I have another system (P90, with AHA2940, 3C590 
cards), and it works great.  Anyone have any ideas?

Sincerely
Blake Freeburg
