System: NetBSD cyclonus 3.99.18 NetBSD 3.99.18 (STARSCREAM) #1: Tue Apr 18 17:52:41 CEST 2006 bin@cyclonus:/o/NetBSD/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/STARSCREAM i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
When passing a too large argument list to systrace, the audio device
becomes defunct until killing the process which was using it. When
using a simple "cat" to play music, the process hangs in "aud_wr".
The process can be killed though and the audio device works again
then. The system does not lock up in any way or becomes unresponsive
when systrace runs. Systrace terminates instantly.

dmesg output follows:
