That's actually an error from RiscOSLib, which means a signal was
raised and not handled. The signal in turn means that the C run-time
system caught a hardware error, i.e. an address exception, abort on
data fetch, or similar. (I forget which one error 5 is.)

Once you've tried the previously-suggested fonts problem, you could
try killing the SCSIfiler module, as this might be broadcasting odd
messages. The fonts are far more likely to be the problem, though.
