Weird - I'm seeing different error messages upon trying again.

Mar 19 17:43:20 penrose /bsd: unknown memory type 2 for GPA 0xa9a372f2

And in between attempts I've been seeing an error never seen before. Could something spooky be going on with memory and vmm? (This is mostly over my head)

I love the confidence! After producing some extremely dangerous code; the lightest possible criticism let it realize its mistake, but it still forges ahead with extremely dubious code.
