Here's an update on the serach for this problem.

For those of you who haven't received it, an article in the latest INFO-MAC
digest indicated that the author had found that the WatchCursor utility
(which, when installed, makes the hands on the "busy" watch cursor move) is
the culpret, although he does not know why.

I've removed it from my system (the distributed program contains a REMOVE
button) and haven't had a similar crash yet, although my utilization is down 
right now.  Some of you may want to try this too, and keep us informed if you
get any more "vertical bar" crashes.
