	Yo; same here : I stepped in today to find the console looping
	the following:

	vm_pageout_scan: page not inactive?

	Console was still active (could switch vtys) but I couldn't type
	anything. CTRL-ALT-DEL was ignored -- had to cold reset it. 

	I reboot, start the make world again (!) and I hear man beeping
	on the console: it's pouring garbage.  So I login as root and
	reboot:

tetard# reboot

panic: freeing held page count=4 pindex=0
sync 78 78 78 78 78  [...]  giving up
dumping to dev 401
dump device bad
Rebooting...

	This is -current as of 27/05.
