I posted about similar behavior on my SS5 back in November.  See:

    http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-sparc/2004/11/11/0000.html

I then did some poking around and found a workaround.  See:

    http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-sparc/2004/11/14/0000.html

Don't know how similar your problem might be and I really don't know
the underlying issues that bring it or my problems about, but I'd like
to know if my workaround works for you.
