I'm babysitting two machines, one running DOS 4.0, the other DOS 4.0 and win3.
Today, both machines locked up, one entering WordPerfect, the other while
running WordPerfect.  They both gave the same error:

Internal stack overflow
System Halted

The only solution for either was to cold re-boot the machine.  Apparently, the
machine running win has had this problem before, but the other one hasn't.

Hardware and software configurations available if needed.

Any help with this would be most appreciated.

Please e-mail directly - I don't get nearly as much time to read news as I
would like.  I will gladly post a summary if interest warrents.  

Thanks again in advance for your help.

Brett

btw - if this has been covered lately, I would appreciate someone sending
me any collected lists of correspondace on the topic.
