I get something similar to this and it is due to a memory leak causing the kernel to 
slowly take up all available memory. You might want to run a sar -k or vmstat and 
check it frequently to see if your kernel size is growing. Also did you get a crash 
dump? If you do a mdb -k on it and run ::memstat and check your kernel size.

Subject: IP Filters causing kernel panic on Solaris 9


I recently upgraded my IP Filters on a Solaris 9 Sparc box and now the
kernel is panicking every few days to a week. I do not get any errors when
the system loads.

Below are the versions of IP Filters and GCC..

IP Filters 4.1.3
GCC 3.4.1

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I downloaded the trial version
of Sun's compilers and have thought about building with that to see if it
helps.

Thanks..
Scott
