Silo Overflow Summary

Hello everyone,
I am running a Sun 3/260, 4.0.3, with 8 megabytes of ram, 280 megabyte hard disk, and a PinacleMicro magneto-optical drive. I just had a system crash and was hoping someone might be able to enlighten me to the cause. The error message that was dumped read:
panic bus error
zs3 : silo overflow
syncing file system
At the time of the error I had two users on the system. One was running only one process (creating some directories on the optical drive). The other user was running SunView with a couple of c-shells and mailtool running. He had just requested mailtool to check for new mail when the system crashed.

First it was pointed out to me that the zs3 refers to the mouse. The general
feeling is that the system was already in a panic and the mouse overflow was
after the fact. I am currently trying to determine what caused the bus panic.
If and when I find out I will again advise the list.
To those who requested info on the optical drive I will be sending that out
shortly.
Thanks to all who responded so quickly especially:
