I'm fairly certain this is a bug in the vx32 runtime. I can make failures occur less frequently by booting with smp turned off. Other ways to explode 9vx include doing a huge commit in sysfromiso. There's a problem in there somewhere, I'm still trying to work out how to even debug it ... valgrind is helpless in the face of the vx32 runtime :-) ron
