I can reproduce this, with a LOCKDEBUG kernel. I don't have any swap enabled so instead of death by vm thrashing I get killed processes. I guess this could be a problem with the sparc64 atomic ops, since the uvmexp accounting doesn't add up.
That would make sense; if you look back at my top output in the original email (or the earlier followups), you'll notice that the memory usage doesn't add up -- there's almost nothing used for the file cache and yet no memory free.
