Following Theo request for testing, I did the same test as previously
reported a few times on misc@ as well as tech@ and the 4.3 release using
the multi code on amd64 still crash at will by just doing a simple:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/test bs=1m count=1000
Doesn't do it using the single amd64 kernel, nor does it do it using
either the i386 single kernel, or multi core one.
Only with the amd64.mp and is reproducible at will.
Also, this doesn't happen only on the Sun server, but a few other were
reported, however, way more prominent on the Sun one.
Marco@ is aware of it and was also able to reproduce the problem as well
on his X4100 too.

Any chance that may be that might be fix for the final release of 4.3?
Best,
