I have downgraded my system to small memory configs, etc... The last set of bugs that I have fixed were found when I ran in 6MBytes of mem. Darn'it the pmap changes are NECESSARY, but the problems are hard to find... :-(. I run normally with 6MB/8MB/40MB, and have absolutely NO crashes. Some laptops are 486's, and I wonder if somehow we/I have broken compat with those? John
