Machine is a uVAX II/3300 with 24M RAM, diskless
>Description:
under load (from other posts to the port-vax mailing list this seems
related to swapping) the machine hangs hard. I can reproduce this
reliably with a 'make build'. this machine had been reliable with
1.5_ALPHA
reverting pmap.c to 1.82.2.1 makes the machine panic with
panic: pmap_enter onto myself
while running 'make build'
reverting pmap.c to 1.82 and pmap.h to 1.39 makes the machine stable
again.
>How-To-Repeat:
'make build', with NBUILDJOBS big enouth to make the machine swap.
>Fix:
workaround: revert pmap.c/pmap.h to the 1.5_ALPHA version.
