REISUB -- now what?

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I have not tried C-A-F1, but I will surely try it if this comes up again.

So far it has been at least 2 weeks between failures.  I have run RAM
tests, but I'm unwilling to do it for more than a day.  There's a reason I
have this machine, and it's not for running tests.
