I never found the source of the problem, but it hasn't happened again since
that one time. Does just plain sleep(1) sleep forever (in nanosleep?) That's
the problem I was seeing. If it is the same problem as the sparc64 sleep
sleeps forever bug, that'd be interesting, because I've never seen it happen
on any NetBSD/i386 system. Although, I didn't stay at 1.6F for very long,
and didn't even have my Ultra5 when 1.6F was -current.
