Yes, I did. Thank you all. I have to admit that I was precipitous
in sending that email. I went to the web page and the only link was 
to the mailing list so I wrongly assumed ...  Anyway I have tried
to load up 4.1 on a old Multia vx42 (233mhz cpu) and it fails
fairly spectacularly with pin 30 axpcpu bad interrupt errors. The
same box runs OpenBSD 2.6 and is in the process of loading NetBSD
1.5_ALPHA2 so I will probably try to load FreeBSD 4.0 and maybe
try 4.1 on a newer box later.

The real fun is going to be when I try to port all of our network
kernel hacks to whichever variant wins the shooting match. (-:
