I can pretty easily test patches and try other stuff out on a couple of dozen brand new, architecturally (sp) stressed out (memorywise (zero swap, 16mb RAM, mfsroot) and cpu bandwidth wise (386sx40)) 3.1-R (switchable to 3.2R) systems, if it'd be helpful. Should it bring out clues leading to the fix for 'the' golden page-not-present instability it'd be awesome karma. This very limited environment is especially fragile and highly susceptible to consistently reproducing the popular >= 3.1R page not present panics.
