>Description:

OSF/1 emulations die the moment they start up /sbin/loader. Static
binaries seem to work.  This was not true with sources as of
2001-01-09.

34 daffy-duck:nathanw>./wc
Abort

ktracing such a program shows:

36 daffy-duck:nathanw>ktrace -di ./wc
Abort
37 daffy-duck:nathanw>kdump
   620 ktrace   EMUL  "netbsd"
   620 ktrace   CALL  execve(0x1fffff63b,0x1fffff468,0x1fffff478)
   620 ktrace   NAMI  "./wc"
   620 ktrace   NAMI  "/emul/osf1/sbin/loader"
   620 ktrace   NAMI  "/emul/osf1"
   620 ktrace   NAMI  "/emul/osf1/sbin/loader"

With a kernel built with DEBUG enabled, the following is printed:
vmcmd[0] = 0x3ff80000000/0x1e000 @ 0
execve: vmcmd 0 failed: 22

A little more digging shows that the failing vmcmd is
vmcmd_map_pagedvn(), which is getting an error code of 3
(KERN_NO_SPACE) from uvm_map().

>How-To-Repeat:

Install OSF/1 compat files and upgrade to current. Try to run
a dynamically linked binary (say, Netscape 4.7, or /usr/bin/wc from a
Digital Unix 4.0F box). Notice that it dies with "Abort".

>Fix:
	Unknown.
