    I can recompile it and run it for a bit. What debug options would be
    useful for this?

    When I had it enabled I had this:

    # CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM is not set
    CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
    # CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set
    CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
    CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y

    Thus spake Zan Lynx (zlynx@acm.org):
