 Someone will probably respond before I get this out, but here is what I
know.

We experianced a system failure immediatly after getting the "broofed
up" error message. HP said STRED99A fixes the system abort.. We
originally got the error while piloting Autobahn from Speedware. The
problem was not AUTOBAHN, but a problem with invalid parameter passing
by the OS.
