The kernel as of -D '2004/10/12 12:00:00' works fine.
I have a faint suspicion that these two commits are the cause of the
instant reboots that firefox triggers on uniprocessor machines. I'm
building a kernel now updated with the sources of:
-D '2004/10/12 16:47:00'
and revision 1.100 of src/sys/kern/kern_switch.c that phk committed a
few hours later.
