This is weird. I just built 9vx on FreeBSD without the -O3. But instead of being more stable, that one crashed on startup, like Charles reported. Namely: 9vx panic: user fault: signo=11 addr=3850cb67 [useraddr=cb67] read=1 eip=80b973c esp=493ffac0 aborting, to dump core. With the -O3, the crashes are rare, and seem to be associated with heavy I/O. BLS
