Well I've been bangin the ol head against the screen on this
crash. Since I really need to make progress here, it's like walking
through a forest with sunglasses on:

In /home/dave/gdbthis
 set args -m 64m -r /var/vkernel/rootimg.1.8.1
 break start_init
 run
 break vm_map_find
 continue

It seems when it gets to the "subyte" call the first time, something
has trashed the stack.

What is the quickest way to find this problem and solve it?
