Hello,

I'm running 2.99.12 on an Ultra 10, my problem is this:
The box was compiling Mozilla while running XFree, xscreensaver, 
gkrellm and gcvs, I left it unattended for a while ( 1 hour or so ), 
when I moved the mouse to exit the screensaver it exited just fine and 
the Xserver started redrawing everything, rather slowly, with gkrellm 
showing high paging activity. When it tried to redraw gcvs ( which 
happened to be the biggest window, took up almost the whole screen ) I 
got a deadlock. Probably a kernel panic since the machine stopped 
responding to pings and the disk activity ended after a couple of 
seconds.
First I thought it's a problem in the Xserver ( like the recently fixed 
one where pages containing code weren't marked executable ) but it's 
not only the Xserver crashing, it's the whole thing. Are there any 
known problems in NetBSD's memory management on sparc64? It only 
happens when there's a big window to redraw ( xterms and other smallish 
windows don't seem to trigger the problem ) and a lot of paging going 
on while doing so. Apparently the window content or the process 
responsible for it has was swapped out to disk, the problem doesn't 
occur when the screensaver ran for only a minute or so. Or when there's 
nothing memory-intensive going on.
The crash seemed to be caused by very high paging activity, although I 
couldn't reproduce it without X yet.

have fun
Michael
