That's not quite what I see on sgimips.
With an old userland and a new kernel I still get numerous binaries  
which dump core on startup, namely all shells except in single user. A  
kernel prior to Simon's fixes would not run a single userland binary,  
a fixed kernel seems to run most but not all of them. I didn't try a  
post merge userland yet.
So, the machine will get to userland, show a login prompt, let you  
login but then immediately drop back to the login prompt since the  
shell died, same effect via ssh.

I see this on both Indy and O2, both have R5k CPUs in case it matters.

have fun
Michael
