The problem is the >lack of any docs explaining the interfaces to this module. Well, when I did alot of the FreeBSD rewrite and changes, the only docs were the sources. Send me email at dyson@implode.root.com and we can start a discourse. This is a complex and subtile module, I have seen many versions of broken pmaps, and FreeBSD has a good one for the i386. If your pmap module is bad, many times you'll think that it works, until you get sudden crashes for no apparent reason. John dyson@implode.root.com
