System: NetBSD marie 6.1.4_PATCH NetBSD 6.1.4_PATCH (MARIE) #4: Sat Aug 23 20:25:06 CEST 2014 is@henrietta:/var/itch/sources/6.1/obj.shark/sys/arch/shark/compile/MARIE shark
(Userland still 5.1.3ish)
Architecture: arm
Machine: shark
>Description:

	Every about one to three weeks since I booted a 6.1 series
	kernel for evaluating upgrade to -6, my Shark's  hangs in
	vm_map. By which I mean: fork doesn't work anymore, exec*()
	doesn't work anymore.  This can not be worked around by
	killing processes using screen's kill window, so it doesn't
	look like a simple resource starvation of some sort.

	The machine can only be recovered from this state by rebooting
	it through ddb from the console or hardware reset.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Boot and wait, no specific trigger known.
>Fix:
	Downgrade to a 5.1.3 kernel.; the machine was rock stable 
	with the -5 kernel for several months at a time.
