Hello,
This DECstation (w20-575-33) took really, really, REALLY long to boot up
just now (like ~10 minutes for an xterm to take any input), and the only
weird things happening as far as I could tell was that these two lines
came up in my console... what might they mean...

Hi there,
You should send the information to the hardware hotline by sending
e-mail to hotline@athena . Make sure to include the machine name and
the exact messages you received. Thanks.

Also, I found a errant xmh process running with user (null), so I logged
in as root and killed it. Everything seemd normal now, but the log-in
process seemed really hosed. Here's some more of my colsole log to put
the error in context of the login process...
