Unfortunately the fix for the kernel bug / security hole that allowed any process to cause a kernel panic on VAXen without compatibility mode was incomplete. The hole was plugged in sigreturn(2), but it is still possible to crash the 4.3-QJ0b kernel by creating a pair of processes in ptrace(2) and having the debugger process set PSL=1 in the traced process. Please copy the version of sys_process.c provided here into your /sys/sys directory and recompile your kernel. This fixes the problem. Only VAXen without compatibility mode are affected, i.e, 8200 and MicroVAXen.
