Hmmmm, how do you manage the ppc, via powerUp or warpUp? IIRC I had
similar problems when upgrading to OS 3.9 or something. I had to switch
entirely to warpUp, i.e. load it at boot time (I think there's an
official preferences tool for this to achieve).

This is a known bug, cf. the FAQ.

Seems to be ok.

As I said, may be related to the method how you access the cpu. Well,
and telling from the error number, seems to be a general failure, so no
specific causes.
