:Strange, as I have 3GB of memory. Is there a memory leak somewhere?
:I just build 1 or 2 packages (distfiles are already fetched), no other
:activity. And it's a UP machine.

    I thought I had fixed those.  Damn.

    Can you get a crash dump from the panic?  And upload it to your
    leaf account?
Hm, I couldn't reproduce the panic after setting "dumpdev" correctly in 
loader.conf (it refered to a non existing partition). I also used
hw.physmem="2G" (instead of the 3G of memory).

I try again without the hw.physmem setting and see if I can reproduce 
it. Or could it be related to maybe dumpdev (or the missing swap partition)?

    This does sound like a memory leak but it could also be something
    else.  HAMMER keeps track of all those allocations so I should be
    able to figure out what is going on from a crash dump.
