Hi all,

Many Thanks for all your replies. They were most helpful.

The problem turned out to be a hardware issue. One of the Ultrasparc III
cpus in the server had a faulty FPU (Floating Point Unit). I installed the
Cpu Diagnostic Monitor provided by Sun which detected and disabled the
problem cpu.

The details of the problem can be found at the following page from
sunsolve....

2=fpu%2A%20USIII%2A%20

Thanks to Alex Madden for providing that link.

Thanks also to Paul Richards who interestingly reported having the same
problem on an Ultrasparc II.

Many Thanks,

Robin Parker
