I think userland version does matter, because the only place 
cpu_setfunc() is called is from sys/compat/sa/compat_sa.c ... so 
you need a binary that uses the SA version of threads in order to 
hang your system...  like one from 4.0.   

I don't think a 5.0 threaded program would use the code in 
compat_sa.c?   So cpu_setfunc() wouldn't get called in that case.


Here's a static linked 4.0 version of dig that hangs my netbsd-5
alpha kernel:

in case anyone wants to try it.
