System name:		m1-142-22
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.7G
Display type:		PMAG-DV 

What were you trying to do?
	Importing a TSV file.  I clicked on the file that I wanted, and about
	the time I hit ok, Garbage characters started spewing into the work
	space.

What's wrong:

	I clicked on the file that I wanted, and about
	the time I hit "ok", Garbage characters started spewing into the work
	space.  I am not sure on the order, it was too close to tell.
	It certainly did not have time to retrieve the file over afs though.
	Then it died and I got:

 pid 1876 (xess3) was killed on an unaligned access, at pc 0x646f6d2e 

What should have happened:

	It should have just loaded the file ofcourse.  It did this
when I loaded up xess again.  This is a different error, but it does not
parse properly into fields if there are too many significant digits:
E.g.
