   I got no report, but here is the answer to the question anyway: all ports 
using
   sys/arch/powerpc/oea/pmap.c were affected.
   
   rev. >= 1.22 should fix the problem.
   

argh :-(  my G4 hung after i started working it hard... :-(  same
style as far as i could tell - i may have been able to drop to
ddb, but as i was running X that didn't work... port 22 connected
but gave no SSH banner, as always...
