Never seen this, and they're not really (apart from the last) proper 
errors. Message 0 should never be signalled by anything, and ACCVIO is 
always fatal (%system-f-accvio).

Seeing it in all three components, I'd suspect the sitehook image first 
(logical PH_SITEHOOK, iirc). Failing that, perhaps a corruption of some 
image (PHLIB?).
Next step would be to capture the offending user's keyboard input (with 
QKECHO or something) to see if it's reproducible.

Is there anything special about the user, or is she the only one ?
I notice she has bypass privilege, which isn't nice, and I wouldn't want 
it given to users on my systems. She isn't captive, either.
