I'm starting to wonder if it is IPFilter's fault or something else
not quite right with sparc64 because I just saw this on my console:

Alignment error: pid=631.1 comm=vi dsfsr=00000000:00800001
dsfar=ffffffff:fec5d1f9 isfsr=00000000:00808000 pc=10892c

and I haven't even enabled IPFilter since boot.

Or does this represent another real fault elsewhere?
