At least the cause of that ugly behavior is found now.

I think Martin must have heard you reading the email when it arrived :)
Yesterday he submitted a bug report (with presumably temporary
workaround) for an NCR5380 DMA issue, which I think affects the
VAXstation 3100 models... :)

Yes Johnny, I've realized that, but a few line above the VAXstations are
mentioned. David Brownlee wrote:

At least VS3100 M38 and M76 don't work with NetBSD, we realized this approx
a year before. Martin got a machine from me to investigate further, but I
think nothing has happened in this reagard since then.
Uh... Holm... He was talking about a DECstation 2100 or 3100 here... Not
a VAXstation. :-)
