  This is the same panic I saw on the g5 imac when I only had 512MB of 
RAM - 'twas much too easy to reproduce.

  The fix is

moea64_is_modified
  ...
-	VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED(m->object);
+	VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED(m->object);

  This is consistent with locking higher up in the call chain. Apologies 
for not submitting that when I found it (and discussed it with Nathan).


later,

Peter.
