  I think I need to let the system core dump at this point, then take
a look at the core dump. I suspect this would be easier with two
NetBSD/sun3 systems, right? Even better if the second one is dying and
dumping its lumps over NFS so I can examine the dump without having to
reboot the machine that is dying. Alas, my production sun3 still runs
SunOS due to this bug :-)
  I'm going to reboot now, and resume this again tomorrow. Maybe the
address stays the same across boots?
  The address I get, as you saw before was 0x2132008.
