I have since managed to pin-point where things started to go wrong -- CVS commit-wise. A -current kernel from CVS with tag '2016.04.03.03.00.00' works just fine, while a kernel with tag '2016.04.03.07.00.00' panics. The only significant commit in that interval is a change of compiler for the i386 port to GCC 5.3 (http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2016/04/03/msg073782.html). Are there known bugs in our compiler for (plain) i486 systems? -jarle [1]: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2016/07/30/msg029876.html -- You are in a dark room with a compiler, emacs, an internet connection, and a thermos of coffee.
