Hi Pawel,

i had the same problems like Bernd while trying to copy the src tree to
a ZFS volume. I have 384MB RAM but i got the same "kmem_map: too small"
panic. I compiled my kernel like you proposed and now i am able to copy
anything to the volume without panic :-)

Regards,
Florian

P.S. Thanks for all the work on ZFS!
