Figure out if 2.6.20.2 does it too, then please try to git bisect
it down further.

I took a quick look and the two sparc64 commits between 2.6.20.1
and 2.6.20.2 are benign, a fix for E450 interrupts and a kenvctrld
fix which is for a driver for hardware your ultra60 doesn't have. :)

There is a decent amount of raid and nfs fixes in here, do you
use either?

Another commit that might be relevant is:

commit 530b09160744a12450fdacb2b78779c9830a29c8
Author: Aristeu Sergio Rozanski Filho <aristeu.sergio@gmail.com>

    tty_io: fix race in master pty close/slave pty close path

Hmmm...

Please let us know if you can narrow it down further.
