In my testing, I now saw what appeared to be an infinite loop
of NaT faults.  The "ps" command showed a "sh" with several
minutes of CPU time while the console window scrolled continually
with "NaT fault... attempting to handle as privop".  This may
or may not be a side effect of the patch I am testing.  I'll
see if it shows up again (but am logging off now until the
morning).
