Hello,
Few days ago, I've posted a problem on a Sun Sparc64 E450 with FreeBSD
5.3 Beta7 on it.
The problem was that when a user reaches the top limit of processes
numbers (5547 by default), the server crashes with "panic: trap: data
access error" message and then go for reboot.
The program use to test it was a simple "forkbomb".
I've found where the problem comes from. When I tried to make a trace
bug with a notebook on the serial port, I've never managed to make it
crash again. And then I tried to boot without video card and the trouble
goes away.
I know that it sounds weird but it was the only way to make it works
normally...
The card is a PCI RAPTOR GFX (-06 REV.50)
Well, maybe there's a driver trouble... Anyway, for the moment I'm using
my "old-friend" VT100 and it works without any problem.
Thanks for those who tried to find an answer to this strange bug !
