Every time anyone tries to run /afs/athena/contrib/sipb/vaxbin/xscreensaver 
from a pika workstation, a panic results.  Any read or execute of a
large file (>200K crashes for sure) yields the same.

If anyone wants to chase down the bug,

cd `attach -p bitbucket`/afsbug
uncompress crash.tar.Z
tar xvf crash.tar

This will produce the vmcore and vmunix files that I hope will prove
useful.  Lust.mit.edu was running standard vmunix.vs2 when I
deliberately crashed it by running xscreensaver, leaving the following
in /usr/adm/messages:

Dec  2 11:17:38 lust vmunix: mbuf map full
Dec  2 11:17:38 lust vmunix: panic: sleep
Dec  2 11:17:38 lust vmunix: syncing disks... 2 2 done
Dec  2 11:17:39 lust vmunix: Athena 4.3BSD UNIX #6-3-20 (probe@paris:VS2) Tue Jul 18 15:19:14 EDT 1989
