I am running 1.6.1 on a /i386 machine with 128Mb memory. I get regular
lock-ups during times of high-memory, high-swap activity, typically
during a nightly rsync run against a large filesystem on a remote
machine.  I can still break into the debugger, but all higher level
function are frozen. (I don't even get character echo on the serial
console). The tracebacks for the last two lock-ups are:

----

The problem did occur with a -current kernel from early February.
I am about to build a -current kernel for the machine to see if the
problem persists.

I suspect I can "fix" this problem by installing more memory and I'll
probably do that after the real problem is fixed.

Any suggestions as to how I should proceed?
