This is probably the oddest thing I have come across yet.

When make-ing something, if another user (or anyone else logged in) does ps
-x (or ps -aux) the entire machine dies; going into the debugger. Requiring
a keyboard / monitor to be connected and a reboot.

This is surely not normal?!

Can anyone offer any explanation or remedy? I couldn't find anything
on-line.

IIcx
NetBSD 1.5
GENERIC Kernel.

Thanks very much indeed for any suggestions.
