HI,
FYI - this patch did fix my initial issue, but further work in
multi-user mode caused it to still hang. I haven't diagnosed it yet; I
just put back the yield call so bufdaemon could run.
So yeah, we still have some work to do. It hit the same problem; stuck
in a loop calling the path to wakeup bufdaemon, but then not sleeping
on anything.
