I don't know if it's related, but I posted about getting a kernel
panic running a binary under COMPAT_OSF1 emulation with a NetBSD/alpha
1.6ZC kernel.  I didn't get any followups, so I don't know if the
problem is local to me.  I'm now at 1.6ZE, and haven't tried running
that binary since, so maybe I should try again.  My original message
is at http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-alpha/2003/10/16/0006.html

Cheers,

Paul.
