Situation is :
Bsd386 with all patches ( in the kernel ) is running.
Xfree1.3 server is runnig and all optimisation is on.
I start equeltutorial. This is an application for ingres.
I stop the program with ^d and the machine reboots immediatly (black screen).
If I do this without the X-server I just get a segmentation fault
and a core from the program, same from a terminal.
When the system goes down, it does no core dump (this is always-why ?).
Hardware: AMD80386 
          Cyrix387 
          Sigma Legend II German version (ET4000, 1MB)
          Adaptec 1542b

What can you say ?
