Does _anyone_ have a SparcStation 5 with Linux ? It seems ONLY SparcStation 5 is susceptible to the problem. doing strace -ff -p `pidof inetd` and telnetting to ident port loks it up reliably on the fork call.
Transferring that same hard drive onto a SparcStation 4 magically eliminates the lockups. (transferring to another SS5 keeps the problem) Is anyone capable of tracing this down ? (I probably should post to another mailing list, like the linux kernel, but I first shoul know if it is reproducible by other people.) Sergey.
