Every now and this I hear people saying (mostly you :)) that some problems 
are KVA related or that the KVA must be increased. This makes me a bit 
curious, since I've never seen problems like that on Linux. It sounds for 
me, the not kernel hacker, a bit like something which should be set at boot 
time (or via sysctl). Have you got some pointers which explain FreeBSD's 
KVA ?

Marc
