	Kernel: SMP, SCHED_4BSD, PREEMPTION, APIC
	MainPCB: ASUS CUR-DSL with two P3 866Mhz
>Description:
	While compiling world and kernel and doing a lot of data manipulating in ImageMagick
	with big highres maps I tried to use 'systat 1 -vmstat'.
	After a while of showing only the unfilled 'formula' of the systat screen systat
	exits with a error:
	"The alternate systemclock has died. Reverting to "pigs" display".

	System is a SMP machine with PREEMPTION and SCVHED_4BSD enabled in kernel, based on
	a ASUS CUR-DSL main PCB with two P3 866 Mhz, both enabled.

	I append dmesg output.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Do compiling and additionaly a lot of memory and hard disk intensive work
	and try to start systat with option vmstat
