| :This is exactly what happens to us sometimes. We run out of pmap entries. :)
| :But what can we tune?
|     sysctl -w kern.ipc.shm_use_phys=1
| 
|     (run prior to creating the initial shared memory segment, e.g. when
|     the machine is booted).
| 
|     That should solve the pv entry problem.  What Alfred said in regards
|     to 'sysctl -a' crashing too... We'll fix it if you give us a 
|     traceback!

Yes. I promised a trace for public and dump if you want.
But there is no one at the NOC now.  So it will have to be tomorrow 
night.  We will take the box down at peak load to better help you guys. :)
