Yes. On a production system running -current.  Unfortunately I'm using
the wrong set of patches.

The unmodified nullfs layer in -current is broken for several reasons
and should not be used.  Fixing it correctly probably requires some
changes to the VFS/VM subsystems (modifying vm_fault, resolving
some locking issues and killing the buffer cache).
