It seems I'm the wrong person to test this.  My Dreamcast crashed with
both revision 1.9 and revision 1.10 of mmu.c.  Apparently there's
something else introducing instability that needs to be fixed first.

With revision 1.10 of mmu.c my Dreamcast just halted at some point.
It would still reply to pings and new TCP-connections would be
established, but that's it then, I didn't see e.g. SSH versionstrings.
TV-out still worked, but all that was printed on the TV were a few
messages saying that the NFS server was not responding and that it was
back again.  No panic message, nothing.

I'll check if there are any other messages on the TV as soon as I'm
back home tonight.

Just for references, my Dreamcast crashed when I tried building
pkgsrc/databases/postgresql80.
