The problem with a hard lock-up out of which you can't escape into the
debugger is that it makes meaningful bug reports impossible. My non-SMP
workstation has exhibited apparently arbitrary lock-ups since the advent
of SMPng.
I thought I was the only one, since my question on the freebsd-current
mailing list went unanswered.

in there, then this may help us provide better bug reports.
Oh, and a couple of deep breaths are probably in order. :-)
