I've had some problems trying to build a -current kernel 
running under the netbsd-gen kernel from the 970105
snapshot, and in fact lately getting the system to boot at
all.  Initially I thought this was symptoms of the CPU overheating,
but it persisted even after returning to 25MHz.  Further
investigation seems to indicate that it has something to do
with NFS (the system is diskless); if I boot single-user I
can build kernels to my heart's content, but going multiuser
dies around the quotacheck.  

If this is a new one, I'll investigate more, but at least 
initially I suspect that it's a local problem, and not related
to overclocking.  Extended use at 33MHz is going to require a
bigger heatsink and better greasing than the pathetic arrangement
that's standard. 8)
