On Warp4 it's OS/2 System -> Problem Determination Tools -> System Error
Log.

Not unusual at all. You might recognize src as an abbreviation for
source. FFST is logging some sort of internal problem within its own code
at ffdmp.c line 515. As to what the internal problem is, I have no clue.

The viewer will show you a summary of the error. If the DMP file contains
process dump data you can open the DMP file view the menu option and look
at this.

Don't expect it to provide much in the way of user level information.
These logs are intended for support personnel with access to internals
documentation for the failing application.

HTH,

Steven
