As no one seemed to comment directly on this I thouht I would relay our
experiances:

panic: pmap_new_proc: u_map allocation failed

Imediatly after the login promt appeared on the console:-(

This was running UNI-proccessor with softupdates and ccd the application
is disk and network heavy, circa 300 processes, however most memory is

This is 3.0-RELEASE with security fixes.
