System: NetBSD crasse.smd.ebone.net 1.5E NetBSD 1.5E (SCREAM) #0: Thu Aug 10 04:03:43 CEST 2000 smd@crasse.smd.ebone.net:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/SCREAM i386

But this is an old problem...

>Description:
	When the system is extremely busy, particularly during
	filesystem activity (mv of huge files or dump or restore
	in background, then doing something else), occasionally
	on this box, more frequently on a similar box with half
	the physical RAM, the machine simply reboots.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Lots of filesystem activity on softdep-enabled
	partitions tends to trigger it.
>Fix:
