    Hey - thanks for getting back so quickly!

    Hmmm - I'm quite new to this whole DEC / VAX thing, so I guess that would be
    a no! No patches are installed as far as I can tell. Still - I'm not sure
    how I'd find out either!

    There doesn't appear to be a crash dump... Perhaps the machine isn't
    crashing?

    Thanks again.
