Thanks Eric.  It never crossed my mind to look at relocation.  I started
to use allot from slam, but I didn't look all that far. 

As you can see from the attached capture file disabling relocation fixed
the issue.  Of course, it instantly reboots the machine but I have an
NBI and done so that's progress.  I will look at proto_slam to see how
it does the file creation in memory.
