The Solution:
--------------
Thanks for the help. It turns out that the cache on my CPU modules
was bad. The UltraSparc 200mhz rev -04 has a problem with cache
memory. If you experience errors with these contact sun. Thanks
to the following individuals. My appologies to the one person who
specifically pointed out the problem with the -04, his email got
garbled with another message by pine. I lost all trace of him
(well, except for syslog).
