Running amd64. The install was fresh so there were no extra files in /

maybe it needs to scale down just a little bit less than it already
does.... although granted, not every install is going to experience a
kernal recompile from source - well, ones that expect to be maintained
anyway.

Fair enough. This issue just bit me in the behind because I was
expecting the 7.1 kernal and modules to take up about as much space as
7.0 ... but then I remember that dtrace found it's way into 7.1 plus a
whole lotta code....
