- That's actually an error from RiscOSLib, which means a signal was
- raised and not handled. The signal in turn means that the C run-time
- system caught a hardware error, i.e. an address exception, abort on
- data fetch, or similar. (I forget which one error 5 is.)

- Once you've tried the previously-suggested fonts problem, you could
- try killing the SCSIfiler module, as this might be broadcasting odd
- messages. The fonts are far more likely to be the problem, though.
