Shortly after the branch for 1.3, the SPARC esp driver was re-worked into
a 'chip' driver and placed in the bus-independent 'dev/ic' section of the
kernel source.  Since then both the sun3x and sparc have been sharing it.

This problem has been present for a very long time.  I suspect a memory
leak in the sun3/sun3x process cleanup code.
