Saw a comment the other day to the effect that this problem had been fixed
under 4.0(some_current_date). I CVSUP'ed and built
yesterday, and am still seeing the same behavior; to wit:

PC164/433, latest SRM runs fine as long as I do not try to use it for serial
IO, namely multilink PPP via sio1 & 2.
As soon as I do, the machine WILL freeze completely in a random (short)
amount of of time.

Config:

PC164/433, 128MB, booting off IDE.
FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE#12, cvsup'ed 000326.
Using serial console on sio0, built in serial port with external modem on
sio1, ISA modem on sio2.
Linksys Ethernet card.


This behavior replicates exactly on an Alphastation 400 4/233 using SCSI,
same CVSUP, so it's not caused by
the hardware config on either machine; the only things they have in common
are the CPU type and
the two modems I am using.

I successfully use FreeBSD 3.4 stable on Intel with the same two modems to
accomplish the same task.
Any ideas?
