I think I've discovered the problem...
I have two Sparcs handy, with exactly the same config, and the
same packages installed; one of them showed the problem but the other
didn't. The only difference between them is the kernel, so I thought
it might be kernel related.
I've investigated a bit, and I think this patch to the Linux
Kernel should fix this problem:

It's against sparclinux-2.0.32-971208 from vger, but it should
apply cleanly to almost any modern version of the Linux kernel.
Please tell me if this solves your problems... it worked for
me.
