Frequent panics under OSF/1 V3.2

Since installing OSF/1 V3.2 less than a week ago, I have been plagued
by a series of OS panics. The panics all seem to be related: Run a
program that uses a large chunk of shared memory and make the system
page a lot. I've run this program under dbx and often when dbx exits,
the system panics with either:

     panic: pmap_release: page not found

or

     panic: delete_pv_entry: mapping not in pv_list

In both cases, the system then hung after saying "SYNC".

Has anyone else experienced similar panics or know of a patch?
My calls to the DEC hotline have yet to be answered. The patch
database (www.service.digital.com) appears to have no V3.2 patch
information.

OSF1 opus V3.2 214 alpha

TIA,
