Its a case of having sufficient memory in the atomic pools. Its possible to
do some ugly quick kernel hack to make the pool commit less likely to be a

Ultimately its an insoluble problem, neither SunOS, Solaris or NetBSD are
infallible, they just never fail for any normal situation, and thats good
enough for me as a solution
