System: NetBSD pip 1.5ZB NetBSD 1.5ZB (PIP) #0: current after 20020310 (last check with 20020317-100000UTC)
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
kernels built after around 20020310 fail to survive rc phase of startup.
Panics (bad trap) occur mainly in malloc code
happend with custom and GENERIC kernels
>How-To-Repeat:
build kernel from current and try to boot into multi user with
new kernel 8-(
Example (using GENERIC_ISDN)
DDB: (beware hand copy - as savecore from alternate device wont - see other PR)

? - i did see changes in subr_pool.c and alike around that time - seems close
