Subject: 2.0 kernel eating all memory, part 27 or so

Hello,

More experimentation. Even when I custom compile a kernel with nkmempages set 
to 4224 (on a mac68k system with 132 megs of memory, 4k pages), which should 
limit the kernel to about 33 megs in size, I see it grow to upwards of 70 megs 
(it's at 67 at the moment). On a system with 36 megs of memory, the kernel's 
usage as reported by top is 36 megs; if I leave it, it will crash in a few 
hours.

Would anyone be willing to help me figure out what's going on? I'd love to see 
2.0 be usable on Amigas and on m68k Macs, and perhaps other m68k machines.

Thanks,
John Klos
