has anyone had problems with kernel panics under 1.4.1 caused by tcpdump?
If I do:

tcpdump > /dev/null

then my sparc I panics after a few seconds.  However my sparc IPX does
not.  They are both running 1.4.1.  They are, however, on different
networks.  The sparc 1 is on a much, much busier net if that makes any
difference.  

As I mentioned, these are both running 1.4.1 kernel and userland, same
kernel on both.
