I continue to have the following crashes in NetBSD 1.6:

malloc: out of space in kmem_map

In the past, I was told this was some kind of untested code path in the
kernel.

Is this fixed in 1.6?

Is there any way to prevent it if it cannot be fixed?

It happens most often during big NFS loads, or heavy disk->disk I/O.

The hardware is a Sun SS5.
