>Description:
	In vm/vm_kern.c around line 300 there is a panic statement that uses 
	%s to get tha name of the buffer:
		    panic("kmem_malloc: %s too small",
			map == kmem_map ? "kmem_map" : "mb_map");
	This didn't work in the 960510-SUPed kernel.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	E.g. 
			panic(map == kmem_map ? "kmem_malloc: kmem_map too small",
						"kmem_malloc: mb_map too small");
	or implement %s in panic....

	Best regards
