FWIW, here are the results I have for j16 buildworlds on UP alpha so far:

june1: OK
june7: OK
june10 -- in progress
june14: system lockup
june28: gcc ICE, system lockup
july22: fault on nofault entry panic


I'm concerned I might be chasing 2 bugs at once, or a lockup under
load was fixed in close temporal proximity to whatever is causing pmap
corruption, or both bugs were present for a while. 

In any case, its a mess.
