The only thing I can think of that occurs at a random time is signals.
Linux signal handling is quite different from illumos signal handling.
Both OSes can lose repeated signals.

The other pecularity, although not entirely random, is that hal writes
UTF strings to a pipe, and reads them back from the same pipe.  Pipes
also are quite different between Linux and illumos.  In particular,
illumos pipes use streams, and require a context switch before the
packet can move along the pipe.
