From FreeBSD:
> Fix a very rare error condition: The code to free VM back to the kernel > as done after a quasi-recursive call to free() had modified what we > thought we knew about the last chunk of pages. > This bug manifested itself when I did a "make obj" from src/usr.sbin/lpr, > then make would coredump in the lpd directory.
