A problem has been noted with an increasing number of + device drivers that make heavy use of and, in some cases, + can overflow, the kernel stack. This problem has an + easily-identifable signature; processes randomly receive a + SIGPROF signal and may die with + the message ``Profiling time + alarm''. For those users experiencing this problem, a + workaround is to edit /src/sys/i386/include/param.h and change + the line which reads:

+
+    #define UPAGES  2
+
+ to read: +
+    #define UPAGES  3
+
+ It will be necessary to recompile the kernel and reboot for + the change to take effect. This problem has been fixed in + FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE.
