Subject: Solaris2.4 kernel panic caused by vat

Vat v4.0a2 with Solaris 2.4, mrouted 3.5/3.8 kernel mods
panics the kernel at random.

usually load related, mouse shifts, window shifts, virtual
desktop shifts, and audio active

Very annoying. My opinion is Solaris is to blame: a user process
should NEVER be able to panic a kernel, especially if not setuid
(ie no diddles into /dev/mem etc)

Anybody else seen this?
