You were right, it was CBFB, slip of finger when typing.  The Response
Center had me go to the SER menu, but once there he had me type
Chassiscodes instead of the PIM.  I'll save your response for the next
time this happens.

We didn't do a dump, but the system came up yesterday morning and has
stayed up, so hopefully it resolved itself.  I haven't heard back from our
CE.

The problem with this machine is that it is so reliable, that when there
is a problem, it's hard to remember what to do!  ;)
