Actually, anything dies after I do an unlimit:
eros# vipw
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
eros# gdb =17hich vipw vipw.core
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
eros# gdb
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
eros# gcc
load: 3.90  cmd: gcc 4186 [runnable] 0.00u 1.54s 5% 24784k
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
eros# ls *.core
^C
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Going to rebuild the kernel w/o USE_TOPDOWN_VM now.
I hope that fixes it.
