this reminds me of a story that I hear where I used to work.  said
company had a vax 11/780, pretty normal setup, and was running 4.1
bsd.  This machine started crashing, often.  DEC comes in, replaces
something, still crashes.  this happens for a long time, and of
course, DEC blames 4.1 for the problem, must be doing something wrong.
please excuse me but the details are sketchy.  they endup replacing
everything, practically, except the backplane, or something like that.
try running VMS over the weekends with all the exersizers going (maybe
an exageration, but they did try VMS out.)
Now as everyone knows, aps and company worked quite closely with
berkeley porting unix to the vaxes, probably one of the reasons why it
was so succesful.  turns out, part of the code in the system relied on
a certain specification in the hardware, to a closer tolerance than
VMS.  finally fixed it, bsd 4.1 exonerated.
please write if you would like the address of people who can tell you
more exact details about this.
and get this stuff fixed.  there is no excuse for letting DEC drag
their feet on this stuff.  ask for a replacement 8800.
