I've seen this once over the last six months on one of my firewalls running
4.1 and Solaris 7 on a E250 (with a quad card). The machine rebooted
itself and recovered nicely though. I never could figure out what happened
though even though I checked the Sun usenet archives for clues. Sorry I
don't have an answer for you...just letting you know that I've seen it too.
