How about this...

o	Are you using a GENERIC kernel?

o	Do you have a timestamp that can be used to check out a
	/usr/src/sys from CVS that will let me build the same
	kernel?

o	Do you have a place I can upload two or more 3/4MB kernel
	files for you to try?

Let's say the answer to all three questions is "yes".

Assuming I can build you a binary kernel from your sources which
then fails on your machine, I believe I can fix the problem, and
give you a new binary kernel that fixes it, if it's the problem I
think it is.

That way, we all win: you get a working kernel, and I get to
convince people that the problem is what I said it was in the
first place: a CPU bug that has to be specifically worked around.
