I misspoke -- I just re-read his message.  He said he compiled a
"3.3-STABLE kernel".   It might be interesting to find out exactly
what he means by this.  Duncan, do you mean 3.3-RELEASE, or do you
mean RELENG_3 as of some date?  What date?

Yes, it boils down to the same thing, but its a little too specific
;-) If you or anybody else gets a chance to try mine, please let me
know if it works.  It might be nice to get it committed.

Thanks,

Drew
