Apologies for Notes Mail - I am forced to use it. After over 24 hours,
sysinstall is still slowly churning against ports/x11.

I'll try. Since I am on vacation this weekend, and our firewalls
effectively block everything but http/80, it'll have to wait until Monday
to grab a CVS repository at home. So please wait at least until Tuesday for
results.
Also remember the virtual hardware is nearly unusable, because the max IO
rate is at about 20k/s.
All the best

We mostly have reports on VMWare 5, not 4, so given those reports I'm
surprised that it works at all =-) I can't think of anything that has
changed that would be a smoking gun. In fact, debugging was removed
from BETA5, so it _should_ go faster, not slower. Do you have the
ability to install BETA4 and then incrementally update the source tree?
That might be a good way to find out what happened.
