Hi,

Seems that I can repeatably wedge an MP box running SMPng (yesterday's
-current) under the following conditions. It's doing a buildworld -j8
getting its sources via NFS from box B, its /usr/obj from box C and also
NFS-serving /usr/obj for  box C which is also buildworlding; so there's
quite a lot of NFS activity. It's also running a couple of dnetcs.

Symptoms are as if the scheduler is wedged:  I can ping the box and get
into DDB, but nothing is happening in userland. According to ps in DDB the
dnetcs are runnable as are half a dozen shells presumably just spawned by
make. Eveything else is waiting, a few in ffsvgt or inode, a bunch of
shells in wait, a bunch of makes in select, ...

DDB trace gives:

(debugger)
   ^
   |
atkbd_isa_intr()
ithd_loop(0)
fork_trampoline()

.. which doesn't seem very useful.

Anyone want more information from this corpse before I turn off its
life-support?
