All the crashes have occured while composing e-mail from within pine. My /var/mail is an NFSv3 mounted fs served by an Auspex NS-7000 over 100/BT (nice!). The system in question is a Dell XPS-P133c (i.e. P5/133) with 128MB, Adaptec 2940U, and 3Com 3C595 100/BT. I've been running the same world/kernel on my home system with no trouble (but no NFS or network card either). Curiously, I composed this e-mail on the unstable system with no trouble. All the crashes consistently occured while composing mail within a few minutes after logging in.
