Hmm. I thought it was just me, but maybe not. I have a machine at home at the most recent -SNAP level that NFS-mounts /usr/src. A 'make world' will eventually 'sieze up' - it's still possible to log in, providing you don't do anything NFS related. (Even on another mount). If you do, your process again just stops. The server is -stable from around the beginning of April. > I really wonder what might have caused this change.
