Actually, I think I may have figured it out.  I rebooted the old kernel and
looked closely at the info screen as it came up.  I did the same with the
new kernel.  The major dif was in the fact that on the old kernel the 
system determined the number of i/o buffs automaticaly, which it did to the 
tune of 303 of them at 1k each and in the new kernel I had specified only 
40 i/o buffs, and so had gained around 260K of free space.  I wounder what
a true save lower limit on i/o buffs is for 2 user systme or even a 5 user
system.
