Yeah, well vm86() would have been working about 6 months ago if Sean
and I had ever received a response to our pleas for help.  As it is,
it seems to exist more profitably as some Great White Hope than as
a working kernel service.

(If anyone does want to help; change the size of the sigcontext struct,
 recompile your kernel, and then come back with an enumerated list of
 other things that need to be changed to stop it from crashing.  We
 could _really_ use some help here.)
