Ken:

We'd be happy to put you in touch with customers who are running Gauntlet
Internet Firewalls in environments such as you describe here, and in even
larger environments.

I suppose you've worked with customer support, but it certainly sounds
like a disk or memory hardware problem.  More memory should not fix this
because lack of memory should not cause system crashes on any UNIX machine.
