- I had a very similar problem with my 3/160 last week-end: it crashed with
- the same error, though of course different numbers for the Memrory Error
- Register, context, and addresses. A call to Sun revealed that this is a
- known problem, under bug report #1020064, and it indicates a bad memory
- board. The solution is to swap the memory, or, in the case of the 3/160,
- the entire motherboard including the memory.
