[MacPerl] Off-topic: grey screen crashes



<x-flowed>Sent to this list because everyone here uses a Mac :-)
I have no reason to suspect involvement from MacPerl in this problem.

If anyone here has experienced these (esp. if you get them often) 
please reply *** off-list ***. I'd like to compare notes on installed 
extensions, frequently running apps, etc.

I have begun experiencing "grey screen crashes" on my desktop G3 
system (MacOS 8.5.1).  This seems to have started in late February (I 
didn't mark the date of the first one, but it was approximately the 
last week of Feb). I get one perhaps every two or three days or so 
now. Unlike most Mac crashes, the boot monitor simply goes grey. No 
menu bar, no mouse, no MacsBug.

Oddly, this annoys me far more than a standard freeze (cursor not 
moving) sort of crash.
