kernel panic

[Matthew Dillon]

:This is a laptop that has been power cycled at least a hundred times
:since that took place so it seems to me there's no way it was coming
:from memory.  When my re(4) troubles were happening I had hw.physmem
:set to 256M to get manageable coredumps.  After my troubles were
:resolved I removed that entry from my loader.conf.  So this time my
:dump consisted of 1.5GB as did several re(4) related coredumps prior
:to my setting hw.physmem.  I assume that the swap space isn't zero'd
:or otherwise initialized prior to a page being written to it.  I also
:assume that a coredump is written sparsely to disk so old data could
:remain across coredumps.  I guess I'll read the code and see if I can
:learn a bit more rather than making assumptions.

    It may be worth adding a DELAY in re_stop(), but it will take a
    while to determine whether it does any good if we can't reproduce
    the failure consistently.
