My Powermac Dual G4 does seem more stable with a uniprocessor kernel,
but with an options MULTIPROCESSOR kernel, I'm still having the
lockups described in the "Recent macppc kernels hang under load"
thread: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-macppc/2003/08/

Although instead of just hanging, a "build.sh -j2 distribution"
generally panics now:

mp_save_fpu_proc{1} pid = 3354.1, fcpu->ci_cpuid = 0
panic: mp_save_fpu_proc
Stoped in pid 3354.1 (nbmake) at netbsd:cpu_Debugger+0x10:  lwz  r0, r1, 0x14
db{1}> LK_SPIN spinout, excl 1, share 0
held by CPU 1

Faulted in DDB; continuing...
dbtrap: pid 3354.1 (nbmake): kernel PGM trap @ 0x370000 (SRR1=0x80032)
(then it hangs)

The above was copied by hand, so there may be typos. Kernel is 1.6ZK
from March 21 23:00 GMT or so (it does have rev 1.22 of pmap.c).
