>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

	2.2.5 box, with NetApp filer NFS V3/UDP mounted over 100BaseTX.

>Description:

	Kernel crashed with supervisor page fault in kernel mode.  Crashing
	process was nfsiod.  Traceback: 
		generic_bcopy
		nfs_writerpc
		nfs_doio
		nfssvc_iod
		nfssvc

	[BTW, is there any easy way to save what's printed and the traceback
	 in DDB, to avoid having to write these things down before rebooting?]

	The really suspicious thing is that this happened while I was copying
	a large file to the filer.  The resultant file was only 24K larger
	than 2^31, so I suspect that something blew up at 2^31 bytes.

	I don't have a core dump, but could probably repeat if needed.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Copy a file larger than 2GB over NFS?
