I'll try to get another trace.

One problem is that I can't get a dump, since my RAM is too large for 
my swap area.  I obviously made a mistake when I configured the disk, 
but I can't easily correct that now.  If I build a kernel with
REALEXTMEM set to something less than my swap size, will I be able to 
get a dump?
