Last Saturday I got this general protection. I never had such a problem
before since 1.1.59.

P90, 32 MB, 430FX, Quantum Scirocco 1700, ELSA Winner 1000 Trio/V, Toshiba
XM5602B, standalone.

Unpatched 2.0.29, SuSE 4.4.

I ran some calculations with g77-0.5.19.1, gcc-2.7.2.1 and had some xterms
open. After two cups of coffee I found the machine locked. No keyboard, no
mouse. After reset I found an entry from klogd.

Thank you for your attention.

Oliver
