>Description:
	I frequently get fatal page faults in uvm_pagelookup().  The back trace
	is not always the same, but it usually get through genfs_getpages().

	I have a few dumps in case someone can work out some magic out of them.

	First I used NetBSD 2.0 on that host, but it was too painful, so I
	switched to a slightly better -current, as shown in the env field.  NFS
	is now a bit better, but I'm afraid I haven't won on the stability side
	after all.

	I can't hook kgdb on that host, but I'd really really like to see that
	issue solved, so I'm ready to answer any query.  But it's kind of a last
	hope thing...

	Example back trace:

	As usual, the actual frame where the fault happens is shadowed by
	calltrap(), but line 379 of uvm_vnode.c is a call to uvm_pagelookup().
>How-To-Repeat:
	Use NetBSD for a busy NFS server.
>Fix:
	Unknown.
