Current version does not need the "Hasty Load" which I stumble by accident besides the obvious panic a side effect of such test is that soft updates used to go hog-wild with memory -- Kirk devised a clever way to prevent soft updates from eating up all your memory during a "Hasty Load". At any rate, the latest soft update fails during a plain old boring make world and I have informed Julian of my panic -- he also enjoys a test account of my box to examine panics to his heart content.
