Statistically you would have to be really unlucky. I have a rev K
strongarm and ssh anoncvs checkouts have worked for me forever. It is
also worth playing around with different SIMM combinations. I
eliminated my machine unreliability by replacing a slightly flaky SIMM.
IMO NetBSD can expose the same timing problems that cause problems with
the x86 second processor cards as it is similarly intensive in its use
of memory.

Good advice.
