(update)
It definitely seems to be triggered by intensive calls to {l,}stat()
A diagnostic kernel reported:
vrele: bad ref count: type VDIR, usecount -1, writecount 0,refcount 1,
tag VT_UFS, ino 112029, on dev 7, 8
panic: vrele: ref cnt
I _think_ this is a MI problem - will not post anything more to
port-sparc, apologies for not doing this sooner...
Unfortunately my limited skills expire at this point & I'm left
throwing myself on the wisdom of real kernel hackers :)
(I've managed to hold the system together by disabling all the
debates on the BBS that runs on it - its sitting on 54 users quite
happily (so far!), when befre it was going down before about 40.
