I am in the midst of applying Terry's patchkit to my kernel.  While I
was working on this, occasionally I'd get a message like:
 
free: bad block memtop xxxxx
 
After a few of these, csh would die, I'd have to relogin, and I'd find
a core.csh file.
 
I didn't specifically find a patch in Terry's patchkit to address
this problem.  So the question is which patch solves the problem?
