... and I turned on softdep on my ipx:

  cd / && tar --unlink -xvzpf base.tgz

still hangs up my ipx (no panic, simply no more reaction to any input
and some kind of periodic harddisk activity) _and_ finally disrupts
some files, /usr/libexec/ld.so* in this case :-(.

So, recent pmap/sparc4c changes made things better (at least NEW_PIPE
work), but not completely good.
