Any ideas for kernel page fault panic?

[Bill Mayhew]

I would be interested in hearing from any kernel gurus out there.
Today, I was more-ing the gnuplot.doc file on my system when the
kernel barfed.  Here are the facts:

System:  3b1, 2 megabytes RAM, 67 meg miniscribe 6085 winchester
O/S:  Unix "3.51", no fix disks installed
System activity:  no background uucp, etc., just ksh, more and the
                  usual daemons running.
Panic message:

(some of the letters in the top line were apparently printed in the
8 bit char set and had the high bits set, resulting in garbled
display.  I transliterate them as best as possible:)

type = 0x02, pid = 25096, pc = 0x6A4, rps=0x2002, p = 0x4a650
GSR  = 8D00, BSR0 = 7c07, BSR1 = 2000, PHYSPF = 0
D0=FF, D1=0, d2=90, d3=2
D4=5, D5=0, D6=CD00, D7=400
A0=32744, A1=72000, A2=4A670, A3=70E28
A4=70884, A5=4086E, A6=70820, A7=2FFD18


panic:  page fault in kernel

Press hardware reset to reboot.


I'd be curious to hear if this was probably some random cosmin ray
messing thins up or if I should start worrying about the health of
the hardware, etc.  Thanks in advance for any help.
