  How much memory do you have?  I just remembered that I saw the same
thing when booting a 5000/200 that had 104MB.  I didn't have time to
debug it at the time, so went back to a non-UVM kernel.  I've been running
a UVM kernel on a 3100 with 24MB of memory for quite a while and haven't
seen that problem.
