Running NetBSD-1.2 on a Hexium-200, we're still seeing nightly panics.

Because for a while many of the panics said "vm_map_entry_create: out
of map entries", I replaced vm/vm_map.c with "1.26 1997/02/25
23:27:08" from the NetBSD-current source tree on March 12.  I also
increased MAX_KMAP from 10 to 100 and MAX_KMAPENT from 500 to 5000.
That flavor of panic seems to have subsided.

Now we've started seeing "panic: ptdi %x".  I'm not familiar enough
with the changes of -1.2.1 and -current in arch/i386/i386/* to know
whether I'm safe to just replace pmap.c, or whether I need to worry
about its routines' external interfaces' compatibility with other
modules in that area.  Or even whether it's confined to pmap.c.

Or is now the time to schedule the 1.2.1 upgrade?  Has the pmap
mechanism been fixed in 1.2.1?  Any insight, advice, and suggestions
would be most welcome.


In case it's helpful, here are some tidbits from the most informative
core (last night's) we've caught so far:

abraham# gdb --kernel /sys/arch/i*/comp*/A*/*.gdb netbsd.47.core
