On the other hand:

tencats# uname -a
NetBSD tencats 2.0_BETA NetBSD 2.0_BETA (TENCATS) #4: Wed Jul 28 18:59:40 MDT 2004  rmk@sidewinder:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/TENCATS sparc64

tencats# uptime
 2:37PM  up 92 days, 18:21, 3 users, load averages: 0.10, 0.09, 0.08

This box is www.rmkhome.com and ftp.rmkhome.com. The load goes up and down,
with a lot of crackers trying to find a hole in my ftp server.

It does have the last patch that was thought to fix the sleeps-forever bug.
