Sadly, that left me none the wiser, but maybe someone might understand.


Along a similar vein, the following seemed to crop up a few times:-

    Oct 23 10:38:35 [NAME] kernel: [2177775.294817] motion[1231112]:
    segfault at 7fa129ffb9d0 ip 00007fa15d7b2f3b sp 00007fff16133020
    error 4 in libpthread-2.31.so[7fa15d7a8000+11000]



(Many thanks also to Barry - I will look into your suggestions - which I 
did like - especially the Winnie The Pooh theme - just my style!).

Kind Regards,
