Interesting.

I'll do the same and see how it goes.

FWIW, I've examined the logs and there is /definitely/ a correspondance
between a hangup and reboot on a standard serial port. The problem is
that the system that calls is also running the same -current, uses cuaa1
with standard settings, and doesn't have the problem. The dialin system
is the one with the problem.

So, I have no idea of what combination of things causes the problem,
but it isn't consistent. Maybe it is the IDE drive, since the calling
system in this case is completely scsi (aha 1542b). Given that one
person has reported no problem with that combination I'm somewhat
doubtful.
