	   I seem to have a problem.  Brief background:  I am administering
   an IBM-AT with a 386 motherboard running at approximately 20MHz.  The
   software is SCO Xenix 2.3.1.  Recently, the system crashed (on two separate
   occasions) and these messages were placed into the /usr/adm/messages file:

I would start by doing
	# nm -n /xenix | pg
and find out what was running when the crash occurred (i.e., what
exactly is at location 1C775).  This clue may point you to the
problem.
