 Hello,
 
 I'm the one that originally reported this bug.  The problem appears  
 to be fixed in the current development branch.  I have been running  
 this kernel
 
    NetBSD 3.99.15 (MYKERNEL) #0: Sat Dec 31 20:54:20 PST 2005
 
 for a couple of days now and have had no problems.  The config was  
 GENERIC + no altivec, multiprocessor and vga buffer hack for XFree86  
 r128 driver.  That is
 
 -bash-3.00$ diff MYKERNEL GENERIC
 29c29
 < #options      ALTIVEC         # Include AltiVec support

 < options       OFB_FAKE_VGA_FB
 < options       MULTIPROCESSOR
 
 Thanks and keep up the good work.
 
 Kjell
