Sorry about the bad memory, but not sorry it wasn't a FreeBSD
problem.  8-).

I'm glad the non-8:1 ratio works.  I thought that it should;
the only suspicious code, from my point of vies, was the frag
mask calculation.  And I had a real hard time believing it to
be wrong, except for Mike's claim that it was broken, since I
haven't personally had problems with it.  8-(.
