Subject:   panic: kmem_malloc(16384): kmem_map too small: md-mounted /tmp filled up

The memory-mounted /tmp filled up on this 6.2-PRERELEASE system (as of Nov 7).

Unfortunately, instead of the process existing due to ENOSPC, the entire 
system paniced:

[...]
g_vfs_done():md0[WRITE(offset=982335488, length=131072)]error = 28
g_vfs_done():md0[WRITE(offset=982466560, length=131072)]error = 28
panic: kmem_malloc(16384): kmem_map too small: 259153920 total allocated

Rebooting...

I don't think, such DoS-ing is normal -- a regular user shot the entire system 
in the knee...

Is anybody interested in the stack/etc.? Is this something, that's fixed in 
the more recent 6.2?

Machine has 3/4Gb RAM and ample swap:

	Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity
	/dev/ad0s1b       3145728       32  3145696     0%
	/dev/ad2s1b       1048576       32  1048544     0%
	Total             4194304       64  4194240     0%

/tmp's space allocation (after reboot) is as follows:

	Filesystem 1K-blocks Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
	/dev/md0     2026030 3552 1860396     0%    /tmp

Note, that it is supposed to hold 2Gb, but was filled up and paniced holding 
about 300Mb... Probably, because it is created with ``-M'' by default -- but 
it is not supposed to panic anyway!

Please, advise. Thanks!
