I decided to update sources (still patch level 3), build world and the 
GENERIC kernel and see what happens.  No change.  Same error.  This will 
occur logging in as root to a console on a machine with 1GB RAM, so 
memory is not an issue.  Building my custom kernel, which has very 
little customization, yields the same error as before, too.

I last used this successfully 16 February 2007.
