I've been trying out the 1.0 Sparc release, and yesterday found that sort
had strange problems on a particular file.  Assigning two variables to 0
caused a seg fault.  It seemed to be some sort of cache or compiler problem,
because referencing them first before assigning them caused the problem to
go away mostly.  I can give more info on this if desired, but I thought
I'd try the new kernel in the "snapshots" directory on sun-lamp.  But when
I try and boot it, after it recognises all the devices, I start getting this:

probe(esp:0:0:0) timed out

over and over.  The probe(esp:0:0:1) timed out, etc etc and it never boots.
Is this a well-known problem?  Any help on either problem would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
