	I am having a problem (major).  When I'm logged on to a terminal
(off of com0, not the console), and I try to compile something, or do anything
remotely loading the system down, it crashes (badly).

	I traced the message which reads "panic: setrq...", I found it to
be in the source file "locore.s" and it is the function which puts
processes on the job queue.  As I don't know much about how the kernel
works, I don't know how to solve the problem, or even what the
problem is.

	I am looking for any help in trying to de-bug this problem.  As far
as I reason, this makes NetBSD completely useless.  (Might as well use a
single user operating system if the machine keeps re-booting when I try to
use more than one login.
