Meanwhile, I have checked with Stefan that this has not been a pilot
error.  (We've analyzed my setup, and we found that its only
remarkable peculiarity was that I don't have a swap partition on my
first disk (the whole disk is used as one huge BSD partition).)

A few days ago, I noticed the following message in my syslog:

Apr 20 02:24:32 olymp /kernel: vnode_pager_output: attempt to write meta-data!!! -- 0xfffe9000(ff)

I suspected it might be relevant to my problem, and Stefan suggested I
should return to you as he remembered that this has recently been
discussed in one of the developer's mailing lists.

Would anyone care to explain the meaning of the above message?

Thanks,
Michael
