OK, well I've managed to get world/kerenl updated and still have the
hangs. I can do nothing with the serial console, and nothing gets
printed there or in the event log when it happens. It is reproducable,
running buildworld with /usr/src NFS mounted from a CURRENT i386
machine is sufficient (i'm about to try with local /usr/src to see if
that makes any difference). What else can I try?
