its a 2.4 kernel, and its RH enterprise 3.  I will try James' solutions
to see if that fixes the code (and pass them on to the other user).

However, I still want to know why a sig fault and a core dump  
bring the machine down. As the machine is supported I think that we
will be passing this to RH as a bug report.
