I just finally got a chance to run some code on a SUN Ultra Sparc 1,
the most modest member of the new 64-bit line.  I'm in SUN Labs, and
you all know that the shoemaker's kids go barefoot....

The Lisp I'm running is Lucid from before their demise.

It crashes randomly and pretty early in the load-up.  I suspect it is
because the instruction cache and data cache of the processor don't
talk to each other; from the point of view of c-based hardware builders,
Lisp is committing the sin of self-modifying code every time it loads
a bin file.

So I've handled this on the Sparc5 by using a patch that flushes the 
instruction cache after every fasload, but I'm unclear on whether this
patch will do the trick for the Ultra. It appears to crash before the
patch could load (or sometimes during loading it), and I wonder if the 
op code used to flush the cache is even the same.

Any experience with the Ultra and Lucid lurking out there?

Thanks.
