>Description:
When our machine with 384M of memory attempts to do things that require
~200M of memory (and possibly not enough physical RAM is availible), 
machine panics.

>How-To-Repeat:
Use lots of memory. Watch machine go boom.

I believe that this is related to my previous bug report kern/9313.
NKMEMCLUSTERS was set to 4096, which I'm told should have been more
than enough.
