No more make sig 11's and 10's!!!!  Happy, happy, joy, joy!!!  Thanks!

But...

I've had one hard hang (press reset button) and one reboot (panic?, no dump, 
sorry).  Both while remaking world and fiddling with the modem (ppp on reboot 
and minicom on hang).  I've since setup to take dump if panic.  

This AM am redoing make world while having a memory pressure cooker running
(malloc bunch, touch bunch, free bunch).

Did get one error message on console/log when I logged in with all this mess 
running: 

Mar 10 09:25:33 llama /kernel: vnode_pager_putpages: attempt to write meta-data!!! -- 0xffffffe9(ff)

If I get a dump will let you know.

Thanks for your efforts.
