Thanks for the link. I ran into the same issue with swapless arm64 around the same time and didn't investigate it further. Apparently I missed that thread, probably because I don't usually read arm@. I definitely never encountered it on swapless amd64, i386, octeon, or macppc (the latter two being in years long past). Brian
