Please try the following for me:

Boot directly into DDB ("boot netbsd -d"), and:

db> w vm_page_zero_enable 0
db> c

Then edit sys/arch/i386/include/pmap.h, and look for the line:

#define PMAP_PAGEIDLEZERO(pa)   pmap_zero_page_uncached((pa))

Comment it out.  Build a new kernel; the sources I used to build the
snapshot are on ftp.netbsd.org with the snapshot, now.  Install it and
boot it.

Hammer on it as usual.  Please report if the system is more stable (I
suspect it will be), and also report if system performance is on the
order of as good as with the uncached zero hook.
