Well, the computer must have been listening. Not an hour after I posted
this, I was untarring two largish files simultaneously when a complete
machine lockup happened on the P166! No response to any stimulus, and the
SCSI activity LED was stuck on. Magic sysreq didn't work... Red button +
reboot + (looonnngg) fsck :-(.

The actual work was being done on an NFS client which mounts the P166 as
server.
