Hi Mason.  I've seen messages of that sort once on my venerable NetBSD
box at home.  I've only seen them once, and they were accompanied by other
symptoms of unexplained memory corruption.  I rebooted this otherwise
reliable machine, it's been running for 6 years, and the problems went
away.  I wonder if your memory chips may need reseating?

} Does this ring any bells for anyone? I'm half-tempted to just set up 1.3.3

} Thanks in advance for the information. It's conceivable that this box could
} produce some nice PR for NetBSD if it works out.
