Since i've ran into the following trouble:

My user `bin' used to have checked out copies from config, sys and lkm
(and include, FWIW) below his home directory.  This is where
everything happens when i'm playing with new stuff in kernelland.
Once in a while, whenever i think it's necessary to upgrade the
kernel, i `cvs update' those modules and rebuild everything
(including, when required, re-configuring).  This used to work all the
time, but recently, all loaded VFS modules yielded garbage and
eventually panicked the system.  (The actual reason must have been the
changes in the way the mounts are being tracked, i suppose.)  It
turned out that cvs remove'ing the whole lkm module and checking it
out again actually worked, but then this is only an evidence that
something in the dependency handling of the Makefiles (or make(1)
itself :) is broken.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
