Mine did this once: after replacing a hard disk, the AT&T tech forgot
to plug the fan back in.  Luckily, I caught it before it was too late.

Lenny, one more question about this:
You say a program gets a memory dump and then does the system crash?
Is it always the same program (or a version of it) that does this?
I know I was able to crash my UNIX PC on demand back at the 3.0 level
with some sick pointer stuff.  I doubt it, but perhaps this is related.
