: The problem is that the machine is completely locked, I can't get into
:the debugger with CTR-ALT-ESC; no panics so there are no coredumps
:catched. Any advise ? Could you escape in the debugger when you were hit
:by these bugs ?

    If it's completely locked up and ctl-alt-esc doesn't work (and normally
    does work - try it on a working system to make sure that you've compiled
    in the appropriate DDB options), and you aren't in an X display
    (ctl-alt-esc isn't useful when done from an X display)... then your
    lockup problem is unrelated to mmap.

    If you are running an X display on this box, you may be able to get
    more information in regards to the crash if you turn off X.

: I have: squid (20Mb), nntpcached (17Mb SIZE, 1Mb RES), apache, named,
:MFS, a few PPP processes and the rest of the standard menu.

    The only programs known to cause the swap problem are innd and innxmit,
    both part of the inn news system.

: OK, how about some workarounds, I can't wait anylonger for this to be
:fixed, my situation got critical. Should I downgrade to 3.1-RELEASE (that
:hadn't exhibit this way) or can I dare a 4.0-CURRENT (are these problems
:present in -current too ?) ?

: Thanks,

    If the machine is locking up to the point where you cannot even drop
    into DDB, this bug is not related to the known mmap() bugs.

    At this point I have no idea what might be causing your lockup problem.
