   Yesterday evening I fetched the lastest from svn stable (r354662), 
created a custom kernel configuration with the following options, and 
rebuilt everything;

 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
include GENERIC
ident MACBOOK

# For full debugger support use (turn off in stable branch):
options         BUF_TRACKING            # Track buffer history
options         DDB                     # Support DDB.
options         FULL_BUF_TRACKING       # Track more buffer history
options         GDB                     # Support remote GDB.
options         DEADLKRES               # Enable the deadlock resolver
options         INVARIANTS              # Enable calls of extra sanity 
checking
options         INVARIANT_SUPPORT       # Extra sanity checks of 
internal structures, required by INVARIANTS
options         WITNESS                 # Enable checks to detect 
deadlocks and cycles
options         WITNESS_SKIPSPIN        # Don't run witness on spinlocks 
for speed
options         MALLOC_DEBUG_MAXZONES=8 # Separate malloc(9) zones
options         VERBOSE_SYSINIT=0       # Support debug.verbose_sysinit, 
off by default

   Then this evening, another system hang, no debugger messages or any 
sort of output whatsoever! :-( The only upside is that I'm experiencing 
these hangs almost daily now, so going to try a process of elimination. 
The hangs generally seem to occur when I'm working using Sublime Text 3 
(via the linuxulator), with an open xterm window or two with X11 
(currently using the Intel video driver). So might try switching to 
modesetting video driver, or using an editor that is native, or ditch 
the graphical environment altogether and see if I still get issues 
working on the console.

   If anyone has any ideas on how else I may be able to track down the 
issue, please let me know! :-)


Thanks,
James
