Hi folks,

Well, I'd love to run somewhat-CURRENT.

But I can't.

Still.

I know this is a whine and complaint, but folks, this is getting serious
around here.  We're well over a month into this now since I first reported
this, and it hasn't gotten any significant attention at all.

Also, the number of things that are "fixed in current" is great -- if you
can *run* -current.

We can't.

The reason is that *ANY* attempt to execute a program off an NFS mounted
disk in -current causes page-not-present and page-fault panics in the
kernel.

Perhaps not the first thing you try to run.  But this is reproduceable
within *five minutes* here in our environment.

Is there any work being done in this area?  If not, does anyone have a
*concise* list of the area that got fubar'd during the merge so I have 
some chance of working up a fix for this?

Terry Lambert has pointed me in the "right direction", but from a quick
examination it looks like a *lot* of things in the FS interface have
changed between the abstraction and actual FS layers -- which implies that 
my odds of getting this right anytime soon (since I didn't do the merge in 
the first place) is somewhere between slim and none.

Help is appreciated.
