- This -5016 problem is a special error that programmers introduced to indicate
- that the 680x0 was going into superviser mode and if the person didn't turn
- the MAC off in the next five years that there MMU would cease to function.
- I don't know why you should get that error - the only way that this error
- came up was when programmers did a call to the operating system to open a
- screen with dimensions of 244 x 199 and to turn on file sharing. - but that
- didn't work all the time. If this thing happens again you should in my
- opinion sue macintosh for releasing macintosh computer without getting all
- there bugs out of their machines.
