Hi everyone and John,

I  just got a panic inside  the VM subsystem and  I was dropped into DDB. I
had switched   to the console  because the  following  messages  started to
appear on my console:

May 28 19:10:39 keltia /kernel: vm_pageout_scan: page not inactive?
May 28 19:11:07 keltia last message repeated 4 times
May 28 19:12:55 keltia last message repeated 2 times
May 28 19:19:06 keltia last message repeated 4 times
May 28 19:23:00 keltia /kernel: vm_pageout_scan: page not inactive?
May 28 19:23:08 keltia last message repeated 459 times
May 28 19:23:08 keltia /kernel:  not inactive?
May 28 19:23:08 keltia /kernel: vm_pageout_scan: page not inactive?

It  was getting News  from my laptop with nntpsend  during that time. Every
process I launched caused more messages to appear on the console.

Soon after their appearance, the system panic'ed:

kernel 12 trap, code = 0
stopped at _vm_page_alloc+0x1d0   movb   0x24(%ebx),%cl
db> trace
_vm_page_alloc (f0ec7100,1,0,efbfffbc) at _vm_page_alloc+0x1d0
_vm_fault (f0ecbe00,81de000,1,0,efbfffbc) at _vm_fault+0x595
_trap_pfault (efbfffbc,1,81dd060,1cf0f4,33b0a4) at _trap_pfault+0xb1

calltrap() at calltrap+0x15
trap 12, eip = 081d0982, ebp = efbfce34

%ebx = 0 

On a  side note, I'm getting various  sig6/10/11 from some processes (emacs
generally) since  the last VM changes. I'm  not up-to-date since my primary
mail machine is down but I've got sources from the following date:

cvs-cur.2043 1996/05/26 08:00:01

486DX4/100, 32 MB, 2x SCSI controllers (BT-747S & AHA-1740A). Boot messages
available.

I've recompiled 19.30 (just the day before 19.31 got  out of course) but no
change. It generally hang during the first launch  from Elm (it just did it
as I started writing this mail  !) and hitting  'e' launch it again without
problem. 

As my kernel is not  compiled with "-g", I don't  have a better trace... As
soon as my mail machine goes up again, I will  upgrade so I apologize if it
is already fixed.
