Hello all,

What's the deal with the current kvm_mkdb program? The latest one (from the
0319 binaries) combined with the latest (0325) kernel still gives me:

kvm_mkdb: /netbsd: corrupted string table: Inappropriate file type or
format

when I run it (or when it gets run during the boot to multi-user mode).

Also, a new message has hit my screen in the last several days (this is
also with the 0325 kernel). Sometimes when I run a program (and it doesn't
have to be a particularly large one, and it isn't with one single program
every time; no pattern here) I get the following:

Apr  1 14:34:31 a4000 /netbsd: swap_pager_io: wait on swbuf for 12d690 (256)
Apr  1 14:34:32 a4000 /netbsd: swap_pager_io: wait on swbuf for 12d758 (256)

Or, how about this sequence:

I don't think this output is of much use to you, but what does it mean?
