I can't tell what this is without knowing more about your system--$02D19D is
memory that's managed by the memory manager, and what's there depends on what
drivers, FSTs, desk accessories, and setup files are installed in your system
and what order they're in.  If you can use Memory Peeker or whatever to find
the memory block containing $02D19D on your system, and give me all the info
about that block (ID, size, starting address), there's a fair chance I can
figure out what's happening.

Now *that* one I recognize.  It's caused by GS/OS's out-of-memory-queue routine
trying to dispose of the cache when the memory is needed by something else.
Under 5.0, if you have just the wrong amount of stuff in the cache, you get
that fatal error.  System Software 5.0.2 does not have this problem.

Such CDAs exist, but you may make GS/OS stop being your friend:  it
generates a character device driver for your serial port.
