I have been getting a repeatable crash with the following message:
panic: pagedaemon: clean anon page without backing store?
Stopped at pagedaemon at Debugger+0x4: leave.
I get this error when running printing several graphics with gnuplot, using
the apsfilter package, which involve generatign postscript files, and
ghostscript output to the printer.
I also got this crash when running a batch job and simultaneously compiling
and linking a fortran code.
The only way out is to "reboot" or "continue" at which point the cores are
dumped and the system reboots.
I am running NetBSD-1.4.1/i386 on a 133 MHz Pentium with 16 Meg RAM and a
Seagate 4Gig drive, with an Adaptec 2940UW.
Swap space is set to 66MegByte.
There is plenty of disk space.
Question: Have other gotten this panic crash? Is it a bug in 1.4.1?
