Humm, so we need IRIX experts here.  Not guilty.

I think you've got to have a chew of Kentucky Twist going in order

Going back to the signal 11, thats often indicative of a hardware 
problem, as in a bad memory location here on a linux box.  Has that 
been checked?  Also cabling issues, terminations and such could 
play a part I'd imagine.

Where is the IRIX expert when you need him?
