There was a great posting on debugging kernel panics a few days ago,
but the bottom line is to go to 0.99p5. I had the same problem on a
number of machines, with both TAMU and SLS releases, and it went away on
all machines with both releases when they upgraded their boot disks.
I conclude that there was an interrupt at a bad time, and someone has
either eliminated the int or disabled ints in the critical place.

Windows NT is a *great* program!
It's everything CP/M should have been all along.
