	OK, first off, I'm the OP. 

	I suppose I should be flattered at being addressed as if I were 
an Alpha Plus Technoid; but I'm not one. I'm just an old twice-retired 
bookworm, running Fedora because there's more and better help online for 
it than for anything else I've tried (most of the well-known distros), 
and because I began back in '98 with RedHat. I can't imagine anything I 
have being of interest to an intruder.

	All the replies in this thread so far have been way over my head. 
The one thing I gather some of you want is the error message from SEL, 
verbatim. I don't have it; I presume it's in some log somewhere, but I 
have no idea how to find that log.

	As for the rest of the comments, however well-meant, I can't tell 
what is wanted; but I'll try to go find it if someone can make it clear 
to me.

	My guess is that Arora had well over a hundred, but well under 
two hundred, tabs open when it crashed. SEL then offered me two choices, 
both having something to do with Arora trying to access memory somewhere 
that SEL thought it had no business accessing.

	A point that may or may not be relevant is that the machine I was 
using had been running slow, with some of the probably busiest apps (Pan, 
several browsers, and Alpine) seeming especially slow. 

	Pan and Firefox (but iirc not Arora) had actually crashed a time 
or two, in one of two ways. Sometimes they just went away, but I could 
restart them (and, with one or two of the browsers, eliminate some of the 
open tabs before full restoration). Sometimes they produced what I've 
called, in another recent thread here, the Diagonal Screen of Death 
(DSoD).
