I've seen that in the latest revision of the kern_slaballocator.c  
(rev 1.7/1.8) it's repaired a bug regarding low memory machines (mine 
is a Pentium 133Mhz with 48MBytes of Ram).

My question is. Are the install floppies kernel updated with the 
latest kernel? If yes then I have probably hit a bug in the Slab 
allocator code. I've tried to fire DDB but it's not enabled in the 
kernel....
That leads me to something else....
Looks like having DDB built into the generic kernel is causing the make
release to fail. Is anyone familiar with the release scripts to know 
what we
need to change so that we can keep DDB in the generic kernel ?
