I checked on ALL CURRENT boxes. After "make cleanworld cleandir" (or
just deleting usr/obj/) and starting a fresh build, those boxes with an
newer kernel all fail at the very same point. We use META_MODE on some
boxes, switched to WITHOUT_CLEAN these days and cleanded up on some
systems therefore. That might be the reason why the problem occurs not
consistently on all systems.

When will the pacth be committed?

Thanks in advance,
