Well, last I heard the entire VAX vm system was being rewritten from
scratch, and there was a good chance that this problem would go away
with the new code. I haven't seen any announcement that the new code
had been pulled into the tree, but I haven't been following very
closely for a few weeks so it's possible I just missed it.
Ragge, will the new vm code be in 1.3?
Cheers,
