System name:		agar
Type and version:	SPARC/4 8.1.7
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	Start netscape

What's wrong:
	Netscape + new release panic my machine.  My machine has paniced
	once a day while trying to bring up Netscape.  This has happened
	7/25, 7/28, and 7/29.  Agar took the release on 7/22...It's possible
	that this timing is only coincidence.

What should have happened:
	Netscape should have come up.  I should not have needed to reboot
	the machine.

Please describe any weird things with your machine:
	I'm using the Sun "Interface Converter" frob which lets me use a
	PS/2 keyboard and mouse.  Also, I'm using bjaspan's "Intermute"
	Java applet within Netscape, but the machine panics before even
	showing me the initial Netscape window, so it's apparently not
	getting as far as starting Java.
