>Description:
1.5.2 release and 1.5.3_ALPHA kernel panics if big swap is defined in /etc/fstab
( or later by swapon command). Following example is with 1G swap,
root file system type: ffs
uvm_anon_add: can not allocate 255999 anons
panic: uvm_anon_add
Stopped in swapctl at cpu_Debugger+0x10: lwz r0, r1, 0x14,

at uvm_anon_add+a0
at sys_swapctl+864

....
>How-To-Repeat:
boot 1.5.2 or 1.5.3_ALPHA to multiuser with big swap defined.
( I have tested with 720M and 1G).
>Fix:
pull the changes described in
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2000/12/27/0029.html
say,
uvm/uvm_anon.h 1.12 -> 1.13
uvm/uvm_anon.c 1.10 -> 1.11
uvm/uvm_swap.c 1.42 -> 1.43
By this fix, kernel won't panic, but swapctl will say,
/dev/wd0b: Cannot Allocate memory
and swap still won't be attached.
