I've been reading lately that other people than myself have been seeing
occasional crashes with NetBSD/Sparc.

I've been experiencing a similiar problem and would like to know if it's
just my hardware or if there are yet some problems to be worked out of the
Sparc port.  When my SS2 has been up for a while (a random amount of time
usually more than 2 hours and usually not more than 24 horus), it will lock
up.  All input will go dead and the only way to get back into it is to
powercycle the box.  There are no error messages produced on the console,
and during the reboot, no crash dumps or core files are found.

Is this a sign of flaky hardware, or is there something that I can do to
start generating some useful traces from this to help track down the bug?

Thanks in advance.
