I'm not sure if this is where to send this, but I just wanted to tell you
that the workstations M34-501-19 and M34-501-20 have problems...
On more than one occasion, I have been working, and all of the sudden a 
black line in the upper right corner of the screen would say,
"panic: segmentation failure
 syncing disks...           "

And then it would freeze.  M34-501-20 is like that even now, but M34-501-19 
does it occasionally, then returns to normal (after having logged whoever was
working out).

                                         -Josh

P.S.  I am a 6.001 lab TA, and I am frequently working on those machines
      because they are in the lab.

Thanx
