Hi,

Since a few days, i'm experiencing kernel hard lockup. The problem
arise when the Symantec (was Veritas) NetBackup server tries to backup
my up-to-date -current NetBSD/amd64 workstation using linux 32-bits
binaries (which worked perfectly during the last 5 monthes).

When stuck, the machine does not respond to anything ... I can't even
access the kernel debugger using the special key sequence. This is for
GENERIC kernel +MULTIPROCESSOR +DIAGNOSTIC + LOCKDEBUG.

This morning, i made some experiments with all the options to isolate
the problem and got the most useful results while removing the
DIAGNOSTIC option.

Kernel lock error: _kernel_unlock: assertion failed: olocks == 1
