    Yahhh.  I was finally able to reproduce the problem - running Stephen's
    16MB make -j5 buildworld test overnight.

    I haven't found the exact cause yet, and I suspect that Alan's patch will
    not fix it (but I'll try it if I exhaust other possibilities).  There is
    plenty of free memory and only one process is blocked in a weird state
    (objtrm).  No deadlock condition exists anywhere.  Alan's patch
    will fix another potential low-memory deadlock (it allows pageouts to be
    performed on an exiting objecting), though.
