FWIW:

Same driver, using 8-bit WD8003EBT's on both systems over coax.
FreeBSD sdev.usn.blaze.net.au 2.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #0: Thu Oct 24 14:35:24 EST 1996

-current is only two days old, completed "make world" without incident,
built new kernels and rebooted both machines. Apart from the previously
mentioned pdksh core dump and running "AJ" malloc options, no other
problems to report so far.
