We have two issues here:

1)	The SYN fixes did hose the show.  We have a prelim patch in which
	APPEARS to be working (despite an analysis that it shouldn't); no
	crashes in 30 hours attributable to it (there was one, but this
	wasn't the cause).  I understand a REAL fix has been committed
	and should be in tonight's SUPper.

2)	We have another extant problem with NFS in -current.  This one is
	REALLY odd.  What happens is that directories become inaccessible
	and "pwd" fails (ie: ftpd cannot determine the current directory).
	The problem comes and goes without reboot or other prodding that we
	are able to determine.

The second problem we have no good, hard evidence of a fix for.
