So, I haven't been able to trigger the bug like I used to.  I am not
sure why, but after a series of fiasco's (Linux/sparc64 box rootfs
corrupted, Solaris 10 server that I was running my SM on exposed a bug
that forced me to upgrade to later build 70, the SM needed to be
updated, and the firmware on my Tavor card was hosed in this process,
leading me to have to reflash it in protected mode), it is all working
fairly smoothly.

I do get this warning now when I ifconfig up my device:

ib0.8001: multicast group ff12401b8001000000000000ffffffff already attached

But it seems harmless.

I will keep trying to break it, but I seem to be doing a better job of
making myself other work.

the public treasure. From that moment on, the majority always votes for
the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with
the result that democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy
followed by a dictatorship. The average of the world's greatest
civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed
through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from
spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty
to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to
complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from
dependency back to bondage."           -- Alexander Tyler, 1778
