	Paul Kranenburg fixed several 'extent panic' inducing problems
	since 1.4. They're scheduled for inclusion in 1.4.1, but you can
	get them now at:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-sparc/1999/06/22/0005.html

	(You'll probably want to save that as text rather than src, and
	apply with patch -l

	What options did you give to crashme - I tried the suggested
	options as in the manpage and my sparc5 clone ran for a few
	minutes before it paniced with a trap. (I'm running the above
	patches plus anything else scheduled for 1.4.1)

	I'm going to enable DDB, DEBUG and DIAGNOSTIC and see if I can get
	more info (but this time I run in single user mode - fsck on a 4GB
	filesystem is just too long for me :)
