That page isn't canonical, i.e. it's quickly outdated.  portsmon is
better, but there are still occasions when it gets out of date
compared to the source, pointyhat.  If you don't see something
listed on pointyhat, i.e. in your case listed here:

  http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/sparc64-6-failure.html

then chances are it's not failing.
