Hi,
I initially posted this to port-sparc, but I wonder if it may be a MI problem
that could affect other ports with alignement contraint.

I get this under moderate load on a sparc IPX 2.0_BETA (moderate = one or 2
kernel compiles, + some perl processes from mrtg or spamassassin) which was
solid when it was running 1.6.x.

Any idea ?

Here is what GDB says about the tr:

1051    
1052            error = uvmfault_anonget(&ufi, amap, anon);
