----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I have been getting the following exception error from Emm386.exe and from
QEMM.

"EMM386 has detected error #06 in an application at memory address
00b8:0b92.  To minimize the chance of data loss, EMM386 has halted your
computer.  For more info, see the readme.txt file"

(the readme.txt file relating to this is nowhere to be seen on my system or
network...  (it was set up prior to my arrival))

I was wondering

        1) if others have run across this error?
        2) what does it mean?
        3) what causes it?
     and
        4) how the heck did you fix it?  :-)

There seems to be very little pattern to the usage before this message
occurs.  It sometimes happens when launching Network apps, other times when
launching local apps.  Sometimes it happens in the middle of an otherwise
stable session (everything launched that needs to be...)

I originally thought it might be a stack overflow (due to my rusty memory of
a PC Magazine article) but it turns out that that would have been an
Exception #12.  :-(

Any and all help greatly appreciated.  Will summarize responses if there are
many.
