I've also rebooted a few times since it was removed.
I take that back, I'm still seeing a problem. After staying logged into gnome for approximately 36 hours, system memory is exhausted and the machine becomes unusable. This is preventing me from getting work done so I've reverted back to build 91. (beadm works great). Build 91 is noticeably quicker--in my gnome-session, applications seem to start faster and everything is more responsive. When the problem occurs, if I hit CTRL-ALT-delete to kill X, I can briefly log in remotely. At that time, I can get into kmdb and run ::memstat and I see there is plenty of free memory. Though as the Nvidia logo pops up on the screen things grind to a halt and after about 2 minutes it finally gets to the GDM login. I've attempted to use dtrace, but once X starts up after CTRL-ALT-delete, no commands are responsive. This is on a Pentium 4 with 2GB of RAM. I'm using the Nvidia driver 96.43.05 as I have a GeForce2 card. I'm yet to encounter this problem with build 93 on my Ultra-24, which has been up for 9 days. Although this machine has 6GB of RAM.
