OK, to follow up on my last message, I rebooted my machine and tried
to start emacs.  Here's what happened (this is put together from
displays on two different xterms):

After booting:
# pstat -s
Device      1024-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/wd0s1b       32768     1364    31340     4%    Interleaved
# emacs &
[1] 246
(see SIGSEGV message on logfile display)
# pstat -s
Device      1024-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/wd0s1b       32768     3820    28884    12%    Interleaved
# emacs &
[2] 248
[1]   Segmentation fault      (core dumped) emacs
# Invalid function: [#<EMACS BUG: INVALID DATATYPE (0xffffffff) Save your buffers immediately and please report this bug> #<EMACS BUG: INVALID DATATYPE (0x07) Save your buffers immediately and please report this bug> 
[2]+  Segmentation fault      (core dumped) emacs
# pstat -s
Device      1024-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/wd0s1b       32768     4304    28400    13%    Interleaved
# emacs &
[1] 250
(this one works)
# pstat -s
Device      1024-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/wd0s1b       32768     6320    26384    19%    Interleaved
(stop emacs)
# pstat -s
Device      1024-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/wd0s1b       32768     6320    26384    19%    Interleaved
# 

So, here I am, three Emacsen later, all stopped, and I have 5 MB less
swap than before.  Can anybody else reproduce these results?
