i have gotten the unclean persistent objects as well ( is this a disease? )
without using emacs.  i do use ncsa telnet for the mac to connect to charon
(the 386bsd host) everyday.  it seems the problem is not unique to emacs.

i also have frequent panics; charon has not gotten past 30 hours since 
upgrading to 0.2.4.  with 0.2.3, charon was routinely up for 10 days at
a stretch, till i took it down for one reason or another.  the trap is code
'c' and vm_fault(...., ....., ...., 0)->5  (KERN_FAILURE from vmparam.h?)

has anyone written a vm map browser.  a utility to read the vm map periodically
and check its consistentcy?  just a thought.
