DESCRIPTION

	a system alert with additional information.

	   Suspend or Reboot for all alert types.
	2. Displays description of alert and name of the offending task.
	3. Dumps contents of CPU data and address registers and displays
	   a text representation.
	4. Can list and get information on alert numbers from listview.
	5. Sound support through a sound daemon such as MSD or UPD.
	6. Multiuser filesystem support, displays name of the user
	   owning the offending task.
