Sparc10 - esp0: Gross error sreg=51

I see these errors frequently on a quad-processor Sparc10, but can't find anything in the bug tracking pages. Is this a real problem or just noise? The Unimplemented SPARC system call errors don't make me feel warm and fuzzy either. Note: the CPUs are actually ROSS Hyperscarc CPUs. Bob -- ><

Re: apt-get -f dist-upgrade removing dpkg-dev
