    When running slip, I get kernel panics whenever I try to use a
largish sized mtu.  I'm running a vanilla pl14, net2d code, on a
386-40 with 4mb of RAM. The default mtu size for the link I'm running
(dynamically allocated, I use dip to dial) seems to be 296, but when
I try to increase this (to, say 1500) I get kernel panics. This happens
whether or not the link is started with the larger mtu size (at the
inital ifconfig) or if it is changed later. The kernel message
tells me that the swapper has been killed, and then panics, with the
EIP pointing into the do_timer() routine. 

   Anyone have any ideas??
