Many thanks to Peter van Gemert, Francisco Roque and Joe Fletcher for their comments. Suggestions included, -could be straight hardware issue (faulty sensor, bad solder joint or suchlike) -V880 is rather a "patch happy" machine, so make sure platform-specific patches and OBP are up-to-date -consider running a full OBP level system diagnostic to see if anything is flagged faulty there -setup more (cronned) self-monitoring to capture regularly what temp.status of system components are; observe if any correlation when/if there are future "weird temp reboot" incidents. Possibly the -50 is a buffer overflow from a real overtemp condition? In particular, I note that the machine hasn't had OBP patched since it was deployed. (OBP firmware on the system is date-stamped 2004, and the latest from sun is 2007) Just got downtime scheduled early today, flashed up the OBP and so far, so good. I've also setup crontabs to capture relevant snippets from "prtdiag -v" at regular time intervals. Given the sporatic nature of the crashing, I suspect I won't know much for at least a week. If things remain horrid or there are significant updates, I will post a second (brief) summary later. Many thanks for the suggestions; greatly appreciated.
