  abstract =     "The VMS operating system's CPU-dependent support of
                 the VAX 6000 family of computers implements a complex
                 and sophisticated set of error-handling routines. At
                 the start of a VMS session, these routines help
                 construct the necessary framework to support the I/O
                 subsystem as the system begins to emerge. For much of a
                 VMS session, these routines then lay [sic] dormant
                 within the SYSLOA image. Periodically, when aroused,
                 they peer into hardware registers looking for signs of
                 trouble. Often, all is well, and the routines return to
                 hibernation. On those occasions when the hardware
                 requires assistance, error handling takes complete
                 control of the system. It has but one mission: identify
                 the error, recover if possible, but at all costs ensure
                 that the integrity of the system remains intact and
                 that data is preserved.",
