According to MOCHIDA Shuji in messages sent to port-i386 by Sep 26
2001, Netscape Solaris x86 crashes kernel after a while, like:
% netscape -display xxx:0
unknown svr4 fast trap 2
unknown svr4 fast trap 2
uknknown svr4 faste trap 2
rnel: type 1216652891 trap, code=0

Possibly by running the netscape binary in archive

>Fix:
May be related to %fs/%gs changes - according to MOCHIDA Shuji:
"""
I compiled many kernels, and found that 'cvs update -D 2001-06-18' one
works good, 'cvs update -D "2001-06-18 10:00"' one does not. I can't tell
the cause exactly, but it seems that is related to the change:

"""
I will track this further, this PR is reminder to not forget
to fix this (or confirm it's no longer problem).
