I've tried this today:

 - Ultra 5, 384 Mb RAM
 - run Mozilla, open lots of windows, bring it up to about 90 Mb RAM
   (Mozilla using system threads)
 - run some memory-allocation-and-dirty programs that will force the
   system to swap out mozilla
 - move mouse back into mozilla window

result: mozilla-bin dumps core, but machine keeps running.

So it seems NetBSD/Sparc64 is at the same level as other platforms now - if 
threaded applications are swapped out, they die, but the system itself
keeps running.  

I'll stick to pkgsrc/pth for the time being.
