Thanks. For now I've set the second to 1 and we'll see if that affects
matters.

It's amd64. I double-checked just one, you never know what stupid
mistakes one might make :-)

Based on one of your mails where setting vm.kmem_size to twice the real
RAM size had adverse effects, I've taken the setting out to see if that
improves matters. I'll have to wait until the next crash (or opportunity
to reboot without too much disturbance) to see the effect.

I put dmesg.boot in my other reply.
