I have been crashing my -current system regularly and it appears
(the system wedges, no response to keyboard) to be caused by
swapping to a vn device.  So I'll second Dyson's recommendation
to not use vn with -current.  On the plus side, soft-updates
has survived maybe twenty crashes over the last few weeks,
and all but once has come up smoothly.  The crashes occur with
a lot of disk activity (usually a buildworld, and couple of
other compiles going, emacs, exmh, netscape hammering
squid) so that is nice test.  Therefore I withdraw my
recent aspersions about soft-updates :).
