TRAP0002, which was a rather opaquely worded software-level report of NMI (non-maskable interrupt) problems at the underlying hardware level. Damn, that's starting to come back to me. You generally got slightly more immediate, slightly more strident, and slightly easier-to-interpret memory-fault error reporting from the Linux kernel (not that "Signal 11" and "Segmentation Fault" is exactly crystal-clear, either), but OS/2 was/is pretty good at that.

And at that point Linux certainly wasn't being used in "real businesses", let alone a big 6 CPA firm... ;-) Which suggests a topic for a new thread...
