Try doing what you can to disable the use of i586_copyin.  Try to modify
the support.s file (or wherever the fastmove code gets setup) so that 
you use the default bcopy code.  It might not be a VM problem per-se, but
either a support routine problem, or a very subtile network memory allocation
mgmt problem.
