These are always signal 10's I am certain that it was a change in -CURRENT that made these occur more frequently. I can remember thinking when it happened that some thing had changed. Unfortunately I didn't try to link it to a particular commit (I was using CTM then). I think it was several weeks before John Dyson left but possibly after the serious instability that -CURRENT had before then.... Sorry cant track it down any better than that. Dag-Erling C.
