Oh. I see, then it's no wonder I couldn't reproduce the problem under QEMU.
I guess I misunderstood you. Earlier you wrote:

Does it happen on the IPC? I thought your IPC died a few days ago?

It's still interesting to know what OBP version do you have on the
SS-10, so the others would know what OBP versions are good.

My knowledge of sun4c is not so good as for sun4m. We may need a few
attempts till we make it.
I'll write you off-list, to reduce the noise.
