I am constantly pushing the "reply" button instead of the "reply to all"
button, so the list never gets my replies... bakahachi.

Quoted from man signal(7):

 SIGBUS      10,7,10      C      Bus error (bad memory access)

Now, if my memory serves me correctly, some architechture's need all memory
access to be aligned on an x-byte boundary (2, 4, 8, etc.), but I cannot
remember if ix86 was one that required this. So the error you are getting
could be caused by a bad memory read/write address. You can check your
system logs for these errors, I thought that the kernel dumps more
information than just "SIGBUS" when these problems occur. Good luck on this
one.

Wow, two dead shift keys... I've never had that happen. In any case though,
you may be able to remap your keyboard so that one of your CTRL or ALT keys
acts as a SHIFT key. I'm not quite sure if you can remap the CAPSLOCK key at
all though. There is a kernel keymapping project, I just can't remember
where the documentation to this is.

Bind 4? Bind 8? Bind 9? How about the ISC website's documentation of bind? I
don't understand the use of a config tool, it's not that difficult to set up
bind.
