Uh, as the outhor, I *hope* I didn't say I'm running -current... if I
did, it is a definite error and I should be taken out and shot.

Those options are appropriate for stable.

BTW, in the future, it would be a good idea to include the options in
question in a query to the mailing list.  You aren't always going to
have someone on hand who has read the same third-party article you
have, even when it's on the Web.

Any if anyone still cares, the mysterious options are:

options "P1003_1B"                 #POSIX infrastructure
options "_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING" #Built-in POSIX priority scheduling
options "_KPOSIX_VERSION=199309L"   #POSIX version kernel is built for
options SYSVSHM                    #System V shared memory
options SYSVMSG                    #System V semaphores
options SYSVSEM                    #System V messaging
options USER_LDT                      #allow user-level control of i386 ldt

My only complaint is the positioning of Tux and Beastie in the
picture; if they had been reversed, the damn penguin would be getting
a beakful of pitchfork.  ;)

Glad you liked it.
