[Sam Bromley]

Hi Folks,
Sorry to bother you all, but I've been unable to find anything
definitive about this crash.

I suspect it's a harddrive or ram issue, perhaps, but I really
don't know for sure. The details from the crash are below.
If any of you know that "yep, it's just hardware", I'd really
appreciate the info. Thank you for any insight that you can provide.

Cheers,
Sam
