Hmmm... well, we did spend two years working on OS/2. And we had
a pretty verbose documentation group. That particular error means
"a previous fatal error may have corrupted memory. Nothing you do
from now on is going to succeed."

In other words

1) This is not the primary error.
2) There is no hope
3) Restart the server (SS) or your connection (classic)
