We had a little rash of these panics on a 785 and an 8600 running 4.3+NFS
from Mt. Xinu.  A couple of months there were notes here about "pagein mfind"
panics on uVAX IIs and 750s, and from looking at the code, it appears that
both those panics and ours were due to mfind finding something unexpectedly.

Kernel tracebacks don't shed much light on the problem -- somebody calls
memall and it blows up.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
