Probably tmpfs ate all your RAM. The default blocksize is 8K, one block is
used per filesysystem entry, and there is one filesystem entry per C library
entry point during mkshlib'ing of libc.

Workarounds: unmount /tmp and make a /tmp on your DOS filesystem. Or
recompile srv/tmpfs with a smaller blocksize (and install/reboot).

^Z to get the kernel debugger. "dv freemem". If it's zero, you ran out of
RAM. Don't mess with swap yet; it has its own collection of grief right
now. If you have swap configured and freemem > 0, you probably hit one of
the deadlocks we've discovered.
