	Well, I've compiled with 4.9-RELEASE binaries and 4.9-STABLE
(12/24/03) binaries and had no observable effects.  Likewise, the symptoms
were first noticed when the world and kernel were the same.  They have
repeted themselves within every combination that I've tried.

	FWIW, I tried rm -rf /usr/obj and recompile, but that didn't
improve things.  I also tried mv /usr/src /usr/src.old and then re-cvsup
and recompile.  That didn't help, either.
