I had a report from a TA of two machines in room 2-032 rebooting
themselves when he used MAE, and the problem would consistently
happen. I suspect that the system software is corrupted in some
way, since the steps he used to create the crash were very simple
and don't affect other machines. Even after the machine crashed
and rebooted, the same actions within MAE would crash the machine
again, hence I strongly suspect that MAE isn't really a factor
in the problem.
One machine was definitely m2-032-1, the instructors workstation at
the front of the room. The other machine was in the first row, he
thought it was m2-032-4 but wasn't as sure of that. Please re-install
m2-032-1 as soon as you can, since stability of the instructor's
workstation is particularly important in this room.
[JEFF: It would really help if you could go to the room and
double-check on the identity of the second machine, and send
info about it to hotline]
