That's probably the copyout() page table problem that was fixed in 2.2-stable on 1997/01/25 in revision 1.41.2.6 of sys/i386/i386/support.s. Time for an upgrade! >Don't forget the little machines that do a lot of the dirty work. Yeah. Little FreeBSD boxes are all over the place here doing this and that to support the major boxes. On the other hand, 386 boxes are old enough to toss in the bin. The unloved discards that we resuscitate are all 486DX33 and above now. We even threw some of them away because we ran out of room for them. The remaining ones just work a bit harder. :-) Stephen.
