Several ppl reported that there is a memory leak inside
the kernel that is responsible for a lot of kernel
panics. 
Isn't it time that we (all 386bsd ppl) work together to 
solve this problem? I don't know if I am right but it
seems like several ppl are working on it and yet I don't
see many things posted about it.
The same holds for the kernel panicing when the swap
space gets exhausted (though I never experienced this
myself).
If ppl. do have results on these topics, I would be
very interested. Maybe they could post them, so other
ppl. can see this oinformation too.

Thanks,
-Guido
