>Description:
While I tried to update the pkgsrc/graphics/sane package to 1.00, the
machine paniced while I compiled sane-1.00/backend/umax.c:
cc -c -O2 -I/usr/pkg/include -Wall -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../include -I../include -I/usr/pkg/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -DPATH_SANE_CONFIG_DIR=/usr/X11R6/etc/sane.d -DPATH_SANE_DATA_DIR=/usr/X11R6/share -DV_MAJOR=1 -DV_MINOR=0 -DBACKEND_NAME=umax -DLIBDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/sane -fPIC -DPIC umax.c
It looks like this is an optimazion bug in egcs which gets triggered with
-O2, when I compile the same thing with -O it does not eat up all memory.
However - egcs eating all memory should not panic the machine.
Here is the relevant output of `ps aux -M netbsd.0.core`:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND
frueauf 7811 0.0 0.0 132 0 pb IW+ - 0:00.00 (cc)
frueauf 7813 0.0 0.0 81284 0 pb RW+ 12:17PM 3:28.95 (cc1)
netbsd.0.core:
--------------
(gdb) target kcore netbsd.0.core
panic: pmap_steal_ptp: failed to steal a PTP!
#0 0x0 in ?? ()
It looks to me that I don't get more usefull output if I recompile the
kernel with debug options, but if you whish i can try and provide more
necessary info, just tell me.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to compile sane-1.00, especially sane-1.00/backend/umax.c with
current egcs and -O2 on a current i386 machine.
>Fix:
Workaround: don't use -O2 with egcs. I have no solution to
prevent the panic :-(
