>Release:        FreeBSD 2.1.6 i386
>Environment:

	Dell OptiPlex 466/Le (486 DX/2 66 Mhz)
	PS/2 Mouse
	Cirrus CL-GD5429 VGA on Board Video-Controller
	16 MB Main-Memory
	1 SCSI HD 1 GB with ID 0 (the first 600 MB for Windo... and the second
				  partition of 192 MB for FreeBSD [64 MB /, 
				  64 MB SWAP and 64 MB /var])
	1 SCSI CD-ROM with ID 1
	1 SCSI HD 2 GB with ID 6 (nearly 900 MB for FreeBSD /usr)

	1 IDE CD-ROM jumpered as MASTER but not used in my kernel!!!
	(By the way: I compiled the probing for a NE2000 Ethernet-Card
	into the kernel, but at the moment, there is no one in my computer.)

>Description:

	In the case i make some swap-intensive compiles, after a while 
	the following error-message appears:

	Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
	fault virtual address = 0x218
	fault code            = supervisor read, page not present
	instruction pointer   = 0x8 : 0xf010f175
	code segment          = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
	                      = DPL 0, pres1, def32 1, gran1
	processor eflags      = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0
	current process       = 4(update)
	interrupt mask        = net tty bio
	panic: page fault

	I don't think that this is a hardware problem, because my System
	runs under OS/2 and Linux without any problems. (At the moment :-))

	My last thought was, that it could be a problem with a too little
	Swap-Space, but the *swapinfo* program shows only a usage 
	maximum of 57%.

>How-To-Repeat:

	That's no problem for me to reproduce this error, every time I
	make some swap-intensive compiles, this error comes up. (To 
	reproduce I try to compile *ddd* and *plan* at one time)

>Fix:
