NetBSD bowmore 3.99.7 NetBSD 3.99.7 (KRUPS) #15: Thu Aug  4 21:38:45 EDT 2005  ml@Inishowen:/stuff/build/obj_sparc/sys/arch/sparc/compile/KRUPS sparc

>Description:
with limits removed various programs fail with this:
Couldn't allocate stack for idle thread!: Cannot allocate memory

it seems to be sparc-specific, I've been unable to reproduce it on any other architecture, including sparc64, but all of them have a lot more RAM than my sparcs ( which both have 64MB )
