how can that be checked?

I see no dmesg or such.

You mention SS20. As said, my older SS10 with netbsd 8.x never exhibited 
the issue.

Recently I was able to kick online my trusty old SparcStation 4 again, 
there I did not notice the issue, but use it also less.

I got it running now and were doing the same things in parallel, 
compiling the same sources.... takes a lot more, but it means it will do 
similar operations. (ssh, running git & svn which appears always 
critical, compiling with gcc many source files)
Up to now, it completed the same stuff and did not get the issue.. I did 
run more hours compiling, all fine. I just shut it down for the weekend now.

Now I don't know if is so exactly reproducible, but it may be a hint. It 
seems to affect the SS20 and a major difference is the dual CPU presence.
