crashes with A3000/040/25 running 1.3

Hello,

Some days ago I said:

After testing it with GENERIC + smaller swap partition, and getting exactly
the same disappointing results, I reinstalled 1.2 and lo, it works perfectly
again.

I also run NetBSD-1.3 on my home A4000/060/64MB RAM and have no problems at
all. I even tried torturing it with only 16MB and heavy X setup
(Enlightenment), but it behaved just right.

While trying to trace the problems with A3000, I wrote a short C program
that allocates a lot of mem and fills it with some random values. Even when
running a few copies at the same time (A LOT of swap activity) no crashes
occured. Then I made A3000 run thru the night at home - again, no probs. So,
I plugged it back to the net and 1.5h later got a spectacular crash...

Perhaps there is something wrong with new Ariadna driver? Anyone?

Greetings,
Milek
