Dear Dr. Konior



      I also encountered the same situation, most interesting part is, 
everytime the crash point is different. Once upon a time, the identiacl job 
can run more than 40 cycles, but most of time, only one cycle, then the 
computer is totally crashed. Until now, I do not know how can I deal with 
it. I also tried many different Linux system and compiler, but same 
situation.

ps, I use 2 X Xeon 3.2 CPU, 4 GB Priority check ram, mother board is TYAN 
S2676


Sincerely yours


jjlee
