The panic below happened at 3AM, when the system was supposedly not
doing much. Looks pretty strange to me, does it make sense *at all*?

Also, wrt UBC (I'm guessing), I'm now noticing large interactive
performance lags while copying large files, which I hadn't seen with
1.5_BETA. Also, if I copy a large file (eg 114MB) while I have an
emacs up, even if I come back to the emacs just a few seconds after
the copy is done, there is a noticable delay before I can type
anything. This was not the case before. Is UBC maybe being too
agressive in its caching, to the detriment of swap for "active"
processes? Is there an easy way to tune this?
