Description ancient 2001-04-18 08:50:01 UTC

When disk intensive programs run, such as the "daily output" The machine crashes with a page fault/kernel panic message on the SWAP partition. It does also happen when I try and edit a file that is rather large in size, namely 20+ megabytes.

How-To-Repeat: Random Crash that happens without cause, even in single user mode.

I turned off softupdates on /usr, and I can't seem to generate the crash 
anymore. If I come across some core files from the crash, I'll send them.

Since you didn't include the panic message, we have to guess at the
cause here, but it could be because your HD has a bad sector in your
swap partition.
