More info!

	1- the thing has been working ALMOST fine for the last few
	   hours, except:
	2- whenever the system crashes for ordinary reasons (bad
	   pointer, etc.), it crashes all the way to kickstart.
	   I was under the impression that this is theoretically
	   impossible.  I know for sure that the kickmem patch I
	   use to addmem during kickstart does NOT prevent kickstart
	   from being write-disabled.

Boy, this is getting weird.
