Assuming this is what I have seen on my sparc pbuilder (ultra 2, dual
300Mhz), the symptom is the system rebooting (or, less often, crashing
and needing a power cycle to reboot).  I'm running 2.6.12 (etch).
Some of my reboots are due to power problems though, since the system
is not on a UPS.  (Cheep UPSes die quickly with the frequent long
brownouts I get here.)

To reproduce, run your system under heavy load, like building
openoffice.org, gcc, or the kernel.  I run two builds at a time.  This
may only happen on multi-processor machines.  (Auric is dual
processor, I don't know about the new sparc buildds.)

With Microsoft, failure is not an option.  It is a standard feature.
