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.
