I just thought of something which might be worth a try on systems

Could be bad luck, but it seems to have the opposite effect. It
panic'd after a few minutes (details below), while up to now it used
to run many hours before it panic'd.
Hm, this could point to violated hardware specifications, memory cells
that aren't used fast enough and thus not auto-refreshed in time.
I presume the Alpha-bug is OpenBSD-only so it's definitely not a
hardware problem? Could be that OpenBSD uses certain parts not often enough.
Slow down the clocks to see if it's in that direction? And if so, start
reading the datasheets...
If someone in The Netherlands is really interested I can provide 433 and
500MHz Miata's, we also have an original DEC Alpha AXP development board
available, I presume with a 166MHz 21064, boots via Ethernet with bootp.
Ethernet, yes the original version, we have a DEC Ethernet-BNC adapter
for it too.
