We abruptly lost our server yesterday morning with this error message:

System Halted 09:06:54

Abend:  OpenFileSyncCheck found an open file on this task.

Running Process AES Sleep Process

etc.

System:

Novell 3.11 02/20/91 250 User
~40 users were logged in
NLMs:  *PBURST*, TCPIP, TCPCON, STREAMS, MATH, RARP, SNMP, CLIB, TELNETD
       Future Domain SCSI Driver v1.10
32 Megs RAM
2 Novell NE2000
Future Doman T-1660 SCSI Card
486-50 ISA Motherboard

I'm wondering if this might have been caused by the new PBURST NLM we just
added.

The system has crashed two other times in the past 9 months it's been up with
NMI Parity Errors, probably caused by ISA bank switching.

Anyone have any ideas as to cause/solution?

Thanks,

Chris
