this makes no sense to me at all.  i've got dozens of machines running
(1.1, 1.2, and current) that have 64M and have no problems what so ever.
it's only when i try to convince the kernel to use more than that (96,
maybe 128) that it can't stay up more than a minute or two.  anyone
got ideas about this?
