Actually, I suspect I have the answer to why mbx_helper was unnamed,
and it wasn't very important.  'startup.spm' had the line 
'cps /sys/mbx/mbx_helper' in it, but when I was watching the diagnostics
on a CRT attached to the DSP-80 during boot, I noticed the message at the
end of the boot process that said:
     "MBX_HELPER not running. Starting one"
I bet that 2 copies of mbx_helper got started, the first one died
after having named itself, and the second (unnamed one) continued.

I removed the "cps ..." command from the startup file; at the next crash
(shouldn't be long) we will see if that was the problem.

Is this right?  Seems a little strange.
