Ok, are all the panics fixed now?

RAM is cheap, so I don't need swapping.

Naps are -not- negotiable.

   Ok, I booted with hw.physmem="16M", and a buildworld paniced with
   "free/cache page dirty".  (I was taking a nap at the time the buildworld
   crashed, we'll talk about that soon.)

   (Are you guys running with INVARIANTS?)

   So, I think we'll just include a warning with 4.9:

   WARNING!

   Do not attempt to stress a FreeBSD 4.9 machine if you:

   a) Will be swapping whatsoever
   or
   b) Will be taking a nap while it is running.

   Doing either or both of these may result in panics.

   P.S. - now that we have an easy way to reproduce this, perhaps we can get
   it fixed.
