Before updating the kernel to 2.2.16-3 from version vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0, the
following problem didn't occur so maybe it is kernel related.  Briefly:
I run, Forte for Java, CE v. 1.0 Update Release 1 (Build 842) which
frequently crashes frequently, at least once per Forte session per hour. 
Here is a listing of the console window upon starting Forte including the
text dumped to the console upon crashing:

If further info about my system or if your support team can offer any
advice please let me know as soon as convenient at rredmon, as
this problem is very frustrating (as all bugs inherently are).  Much
Thanks.
