On alpha alone, or other architectures?

Also, odd other things are happening. I got at least one pmap_emulate_reference
whine when doing a *copyout* from msgbuf to user space today. Why it
would get a fault on the K0SEG address is a puzzlement to me- it's
mapped by the prom, not 'managed' by VM, so how could there be  fault
there?

I got one 'pmap_page_protect' panic back on 4/18.

Also, we have a variety of cc1 core dumps. I've now had it happen
twice, but I have no clue from the cc1 core files why- it isn't
an unresolved stack fault.

I've done a bit of modifying of alpha/trap.c to print out info
about a process killed of with SIGSEGV- I may commit this sooner
or later as it's useful (IMHO), and only on for DIAGNOSTIC. I just
tested it with a little 'eatstack' program.
