In my previous posting I neglected to mention console messages...

For the large majority of crashes, there is no console message.
Nothing at all.  In those cases I type a <cntl/P> H and then reboot.

For one of the crashes, though, there was this:

	ka6 = 7545
	aps = 141374
	pc = 343 ps = 110
	cpuerr = 160
	trap type 11
	panic: trap
	syncing disks...

This problem is really severe for us.  It *does* seem to be related
to CPU load; today I was doing a MAKEALL in /usr/src and crashed twice
(the mysterious no-message type).  If you have any thoughts about this,
even shots in the dark, please mail them to me.
