There's a zephyr log transcript I'm too lazy to crib from below.

HTH

twice in two days, W20-575-47 (a solaris machine) has dropped into the window you get
when you type Stop-A, and begun to repeatedly print "Rejecting alloc-mem!"  You can't
give it any commands, all you seem to be able to do is hit the power.  Is it worth 
telling hotline?

yes... it likely has a hardware problem, such as bad memory

does stop-a do anything?

didn't think to try that.  I think the last person to see this problem tried it.  
pulling and reinserting the keyboard didn't help for what it's worth.
