I tried again, with clang. When I let it run longer, I have system
hangs. top reports (when the hang is over) that system uses 127% CPU
before it goes down to normal values.

The clang process sits at around 114MB, the system process around
96MB, both are stable memory-wise. Swap use doesn't change (32GB
RAM, a few Gig swap used, but doesn't change over the run).

My NetBSD is 6.99.28 from Jan 4.

What can I look at next?
