Any chance you have one of the old libc6-v9 or libc6-sparcv9 packages installed? Try running "ldd /bin/grep" to make sure it is using /lib/libc.so.6. I can only say that Debian has an UltraSPARC60 running 2.4.21-rc2, and it is running woody. It's a dual processor system (2x450mhz II). It doesn't exhibit any of these problems. In fact, it has a 74 day uptime. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/
