It is the funky shared address space fork that is implemented in -stable for
uniprocessor kernels and, sadly, in -current for the SMP kernels.

a. install -current
b. boot a uniprocessor kernel (just your SMP kernel config with the SMP removed)

your laptop is an uniprocessor machine (with an uniprocessor kernel)
