Ok, I booted with hw.physmem="16M", and a buildworld paniced with "free/cache page dirty". (I was taking a nap at the time the buildworld crashed, we'll talk about that soon.) (Are you guys running with INVARIANTS?) So, I think we'll just include a warning with 4.9: WARNING! Do not attempt to stress a FreeBSD 4.9 machine if you: a) Will be swapping whatsoever or b) Will be taking a nap while it is running. Doing either or both of these may result in panics.
