dg e2558c0879 Implemented a (sorely needed for years) double fault handler to catch stack 
overflows.
It sure would be nice if there was an unmapped page between the PCB and
the stack (and that the size of the stack was configurable!). With the
way things are now, the PCB will get clobbered before the double fault
handler gets control, making somewhat of a mess of things. Despite this,
it is still fairly easy to poke around in the overflowed stack to figure
out the cause.

This install procedure is ALPHA code, and        `--{__________)
may very possibly *DESTROY* the contents of your
ENTIRE DISK!  Please do not proceed with this installation
unless you've adequately backed up your data first!

If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them
by toggling over to the alternate screen - type ALT-F2 to switch
over, ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen.  The debugging
output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in understanding
your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when reporting
any failures in the installation!  Thanks!

Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow
and Page Up/Page Down keys.  To suspend the installation at any point,
hit ESC twice.  Hitting TAB will move the focus to different controls.
If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation, you'll know how to deal
with this.

For a more complete description of what's new in this release, please
see the release notes.

For more documentation on this system, it is recommended that you purchase
the 4.4BSD Document Set from O'Reilly Associates and the USENIX Association.
ISBN 1-56592-082-1  We have no connection with O'Reilly, we're just
satisfied customers!

Have fun, and please let us know of any problems you encounter with
this release!

Please have patience if your questions are not answered right away -
this is an especially busy time for us, and our volunteer resources
