Subject: Problems with kernel crashing.

About one or two times per day I get a core dump, and system panic with the
following message:

panic: kmem_malloc: kmem_map too small


-----------

I know this is to do with the kmem and mem files for accessing the memory
directly and for using swap space on disk.  Is there a problem with these
files that I can somehow correct?  Or is there something else that I need
to do.  Please respond via email, as this is sort of urgent.  Thanks!
