We fixed a lot of bugs in -current (compare the stable column with the
current columns at http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/linux-kernel/ltp), so this
may be an explanation. If someone wants to give a MFC a try, good
candidates are the mmap fixes (not complete in -current, jkim@ is
working on further fixes) and the msg* stuff.
