Hi, Happily I think the Netra X1 is stable again running the latest binary snapshot of the kernel; if one of the earlier bug reporters would like to try that.
For me, a cvs checkout or cvs diff, would crash OpenBSD 5.7 or 5.8 within seconds. Sometimes just an SSH login would trigger it. Or just IPv4 forwarding with no users logged in. I was never able to reproduce the crash anyhow with the network cable unplugged. I wish I knew what fixed it, so that I could backport the fix to 5.8-stable. If someone could point me to an archive of older binary snapshots of the kernel between 5.8-release and now, I could try to bisect that way. (Or if that doesn't exist yet, why not? I'd happily set up and host such an archive.)

The other likely candidate would be net/route or ARP broadcast changes on 2014-09-03, having been reworked from 5.8->current. Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain ste...@pyro.eu.org
