Hi.  With the expansion of struct sigacts to include per-signal trampoline 
information, sizeof(struct sigacts) on the m68k is now 2052 bytes.  This
is larger than the sun2 page size of 2048 bytes, and causes pool_init() to
break down when it realizes it can't fit even one of these items on a page.

I dunno anything about how pool(9) works, looking for help.  Thanks -

Matt
