Yesterday, I booted with the latest bits from -STABLE.  I cvsupped and
built the kernel on the first, and booted it yesterday morning.  There
were apparently some SCSI-related fixes that went in.

This morning, I found my system quite wedged.  I didn't think to note the
exact messages, but it was something to do with a lost SCB (I think), and
an overrun.  The system was completely unresponsive.  I reset (sigh), and
tried to go through fsck.  This failed, complaining of unreadable blocks,
with numerous complaints from the SCSI subsystem.  I punted (since I need
the system to be up _now_), and booted the previous kernel, dated 3/11/97.
It's working fine.

So what gives?  What's broken in the latest -STABLE?  My system in a P100
with an Adaptec 2049W.  The disk giving the most trouble was an IBM 32160W
(a wide disk), although there was a narrow drive also giving trouble, just
not as much.
