For the last few months, it used to crash on me about twice a week.
My last build dates from 2001-08-11 and has been stable so far.

- Sound is broken, but I gather that's not specific to alpha.
- I'm seeing mysterious writes (kevent says NOTE_WRITE) to my
  executables.  I suspect this is a VM bug.
- Pthreads are broken.  Well, at least ports that rely on them fail.

I run a fairly minimal custom kernel and use modules where available.
