> Has anyone tried undefining PEND_INTS to fix this yet?

Steve has gone off to sleep, so I thought I would get people
caught up on the status of this.

Last night I ran a machine with the latest kernel (the one with
Steve's latest '3 locks' fix) and PEND_INTS undefined. The machine
stayed up for 10 hours while doing its usual work of web
cache and newsfeeds along with a make world. That seems to
have fixed the problem.

I have now defined PEND_INTS again and am running more tests.
Nothing definite yet, but after a good hammering (_lots_ of
CPU and disk activity) the machine is still running fine.
I will know more within the next 12 hours, but it looks
like the '3 locks' fix has solved the problem.

Many thanks to Steve for helping out.
