I suggest disabling swapping (paging will still work.)  The errors that
you are getting are wierd (those are the worst kind :-().  If swapping
is enabled, and there are subtile problems with the system, the UPAGES
being messed up can cause the kernel stack to be corrupt.

options	"NO_SWAPPING"

This is a "stab in the dark", but I will try to watch your progress and
bug reports.
