Re: request for more system info

[sorry about not including it before, but I was mainly looking for
 an answer about what an EMT trap was, so I didn't think to include it]

I am running UNIX3.50, stock UUCP/uucico/etc.  At the time of crash, I
had under 2MB free on my 67MB hard drive.  I have 2MB RAM internal,
two 512K cards, and one unpopulated Combo board.

Machine I was talking to is running PUUCP (I think).

Here is my problem:

In article <582 at ivucsb.UUCP> I write:
~I was doing a LOT of stuff simultaneously (downloading news, unbatching news,
~multiple windows, a compile, etc) when all of a sudden my machine locked up.
~It happened just as I wanted to spawn a new rn.
~
~I had to reboot.  The only clue I have as to why this happened appears in my
~/usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE:
~
~nessus!uucpadm (3/11-9:48:09) (C,28705,22) REQUESTED (S D.nessu24f1470 D.nessu24f1470 news)
~nessus!news (3/11-9:50:37) (C,28705,23) 25 (INTREXIT)
~nessus!news (3/11-9:50:37) (C,28705,23) intrEXIT (SIGNAL 7)
~
~I also got a core dump in /usr/lib/uucp.
~
~signal 7 is EMT instruction, according to signal(2).  What is this EMT?
~Why did I get it?
