setrq panic (errata)

In article <102 at ascvax.UUCP>, I described a setrq panic I am getting
regularly from a VAX 750 running 4.2 BSD UNIX.  In that article,
I claimed that the system was always in the midst of servicing
a getpagesize() SVC.  Well ..  (blush) ... while the system
is indeed consistently servicing the same SVC, that SVC is vfork(),
not getpagesize().  The SVC number is 66 (decimal) in all my notes
and all my dumps.  Somehow, I got confused in tracing through syscall
and sysent.

Anyway, does a problem with vfork ring any new bells, or suggest
anything to anyone?  I am continuing my own investigation and
look forward to any suggestions.

Thanks in advance,
Pat Keziah
