 I'm not sure. After upgrading to 35500 or newer, the vm_page_faults have
 been occurring. I never reported them, as it looked to be fixed in a newer
 revision. Over a few updates, I've lost track of the first revision the
 _numBlocks > 0 occurred.

 > Just to clarify, Matt, you're getting crashes ("_numBlocks > 0" debugger
 calls) from various teams, but only when it happens in the app server you
 get the white gdb screen, right? If so, then this is probably a bug in
 libroot or libbe.

 Right. Other times the application itself will crash, raising a debug
 alert window. More often than not, it's in app_server.  To note,
 vm_page_faults still show up on the serial log at times. Later today, I'll
 be updating a second partition to trunk.

 LD_PRELOAD=libroot_debug.so" at the beginning of the BootScript, or rename
 libroot.so and symlink to libroot_debug.so). Maybe that will turn up
 something earlier.
 Attached is the output with the export statement in use.
