Some questioned proper SIMM location, recent upgrades, etc. But since the
system has been stable and unchanged for a year or so, that's not an issue.
Most indicated hardware, particularly memory.
I removed, cleaned, and replaced the SIMMs after swapping out the box. The
machine then ran fine over the weekend with many high-load processes keeping
it busy. However, when returned to its original enviroment and location,
the behavior returned and the machine would panic at various stages of
booting with errors similar to those below. A replacement motherboard had
already been received, so I replaced it. The machine seems fine, now.

Original question:
> System: SPARCstation 2 (4/75), 32 MB memory, Solaris 2.4
> Problem: System crashes and often comes up unstable. Has been behaving
> strangely. Many simple things (like sh) core dump.
>
> Looking through the archives, bad traps usually indicate hardware problems.
> The system passes memory and le0/net tests OK. Kernel checksum matches that
> of identically configured systems.
