OK, I tried it, since it crashed even with my low ARC settings. With  
*no* ARC settings, I get this:

Panic screenshots (I still couldn't get it to dump properly - 640MB  
RAM, 768MB swap, but it complains about the swap being too small):

Backtrace: http://imgur.com/iXUFF.png

It runs buildworld for about 2-5 minutes before this happens.
