    keyword=re: roc 14 crashes

    I started using a version of ``datamon'' which should wake you
    up with a beep if CODA crashes. The most common crash is
    roc14 which is the VME crate near the beamline. Popular but
    unproven beliefs: 1) The probability to crash is proportional to
    radiation load, long-term solution is to shield it; 2) It might help
    to replace the cpu... I remember this one time did reduce the crash rate,
    when it was crashing twice an hour -- several months ago --
    maybe the cpu eventually loses too many ``brain cells'' ? Otherwise
    I have no good ideas. The data files from a roc14 crash are ok.
