Today, I finally got a traceback of my insta-reboots after marius' atkbd
commit (2005-06-10 20:56:38 UTC) and it was exactly this same traceback.
Funny that such an innocuous commit started causing my 'i386' workstation
to panic.  We were that much on the edge of having enough UMA_BOOT_PAGES?
Is 48 enough?

It looks like the code attempts to help the poor user out:
    sys/vm/uma_core.c:911:  panic("UMA: Increase UMA_BOOT_PAGES");
But why wasn't that being triggered in Eric Anderson's case and mine?
