No, I haven't. One of the reasons I stopped trying to use hald(8) was that when I booted head, hald went into a 100% CPU busy loop. (Mind, this was with hald built inder stable/6.) I had been "circumventing" this during the time I was using hald by logging in (via xdm), then sending the hald process a SIGSTOP. (Note that hald spawns child processes -- for various bits of hardware, IIRC -- and the child processes were not the ones that went into the CPU busy loops, nor were they affected by the SIGSTOP. And the SIGSTOP did not seem to affect other operations in the slightest.) But still, when I forgot to do it, the "make build world" under head took a while.... And it made the laptop even hotter, which is Not A Good Thing. I briefly tried building version-specific hald & dbus, but the resulting complexification(!) was more than I could handle, so I abandoned the approach as a bad job. (IIRC, one of the issues was that I wasn't even able to build dbus under head at that time. And I wasn't willing to try to create a separate /usr/local for each version of FreeBSD that I run.)
