what should I do with this SS20? My HyperSPARCs are precious... and SMP 
seems unusable.
Could we try debugging this? or should I wipe and install 9.4, hoping it 
is no worse (or better) than 9.3?

Maybe Romain is still around... I don't know if he was into HyperSPARCs

In the meanwhile... except the first hiccup, 10.0 proves stable on Netra 
T1 (single-processr though) but also 9.4 very stable on SS10 with 2x 
SuperSPARC.. I will write in detail a thank you post, but it compiles 
for days without issues. Before it was running 8 and was stable, the 
SS20 with 9.3 was usable but unstable.

I start to think that it is a SS20 and/or HyperSPARC SMP issue which got 
worse in 10.0
