That narrows it down to a MIPS-specific change in libc committed between
2004/03/04 23:43:56 and 2004/03/25 00:02:46 (the former date marking .113,
the latter .114).  Maybe the sigtrampoline code?

(to bring port-mips up to speed, 2.0 and -current experience bus errors and
cache errors at random intervals with libc.so.12.114 and newer.  libc.so.12.113
is fine, resulting in a stable system.  This is going to be a showstopper for
sgimips for 2.0 :( )
