Hello everyone,
 
I've compiled the ray tracer Persistence of Vision at our NeXT lab here
on campus, and the executable has this peculiar tendency to consistently
crash 3 machines, and never the others (5).  They are all running under
2.1.  I suspect the machines and not the executable.  Does anyone have
any ideas on what I could check to see if there are fixable differences
in the machine configuration?
 
No NeXTMail to this account; followup is fine.
 
Regards,
 
David
