A minor fix to the patch I posted this morning - my thanks to cgd for
pointing it out.
My mods changed the "if (canwait) {" to "if (!canwait) {". The original
code was in fact correct. :) In practice though, the kernel will most
probably panic fairly soon after either version of this statement is
executed. For the moment, the key is to avoid running out of memory in the
first place.
