I didn't see anything like this for ages and I'm using an U10 for all my
daily work. But I'm running pretty recent -current.
What I see is what Martin described - seemingly random crashes in
threaded applications with ( usually mangled ) stack traces that end
somewhere in libpthread. Running low on memory seems to make it worse,
some applications almost inevitably crash when they get swapped back in.

have fun
Michael
