}Try "man kconfig". The region table is one of the tunable parameters.
}If I recall correctly, it's NREGION. Try bumping it up by 20 or so.

Of course, this does bring up another point... back in the old days of 1.0,
Apple actually provided a listing of all possible kernel errors and panics
and even (*gasp*) double panics along with a skimpy listing of what could
have caused the problem (I'd say about 10-20% had explanations).

Now this listing would be VERY nice (updated, of course :), providing at
least some sort of guidance when one hits these nasty things...
