Some of it is fixed ( didn't see a kernel panic or a deadlock for a while ) in -current but we still get apparently random SIGSEGV and SIGBUS from libpthread. Some threaded applications work just fine, some don't work at all or crash randomly.

Well, www.rmkhome.com/ftp.rmkhome.com is an Ultra5 running NetBSD 2.0.1, which
I will upgrade soon to 2.0.2. I use a Symbios SCSI controller and SCSI drives
instead of the lame sun IDE controller. Apache 1.3.xx. No threads, and it runs
pretty well. I had one possible "sleeps forever" before I upgraded from 2.0.
