ex* has had issues, but I've now seen two panics on netbsd-2 in less than 
a month:

panic: tcp_output REXMT

panic: trap
Faulted in mid-traceback; aborting...dumpsys: TBD
rebooting

It might be that this is a slower system (180 or 200 MHz 603e), so it's 
more apt to get caught in some place where an interrupt isn't properly 
handled. Of course, this kind of stuff never happens locally - it only 
ever happens on my colocated machines! So it's hard to do any real 
checking.

Ideas, anyone?
