I've started seeing that too, after applying the latest boddle plus the
devvga.c:/gscreen.ldepth patch that someone posted to the list (Is it a
correct fix?).  ^t^tx reports that there are very few bytes free, like
22K (16M machine with kernerlpercent=40, vgasize=1280x1024x8).  If it
gets really low, things start to hang, with processes Queueing or
Scheding in Malloc or New.
