Just to share my experiences, I was running a 386 with 4MB up until about
6 weeks ago (it now has 8MB), and it was stable enough to be usable. It'd
panic with something like "lockmgr: locking against myself" every few days
though. Now that it's been upgraded to 8MB, and upgraded to a newer
-current, I haven't seen the crashes;  I don't know if that's because the
bug has been fixed, or if having more memory made it go away.
