Yes I know it from your previous posts. For some reason you don't
want that description and analysis of (possible) hardware bug comes
public (at this time). Whatever your reasons are, you certainly have
your rights for it, no problem from my viewpoint.

I'll take this route, at least it can prove something objective (for
me). Of course I have to trust you to not send me kernel binary with
simply those damned options enabled... or with "something
interesting" in it...

The sources the kernel is built are checked out from
freebsd.dk.freebsd.org at:
*default date=2002.11.21.13.56.00
