So, is it safe to do a new buildworld/installworld after the fixes that were recently committed by Thomas? I "rushed" (*) a sparc64 buildworld together as soon as I saw that commit, but the new kernel panic'ed when I tried to boot into it. So, I didn't even get far enough to install the new userland. That panic might have been an error on my part, but I thought I would ask before making another attempt. (* - well, as much as I can "rush" a buildworld on an Ultra-10...)
