I have a rather older amd64 kernel that didn't do it until I rebuilt
the day before yesterday (now that's bad luck), and my internal umass
drive seems to panic both (amd64 & i386) pretty reliably...is there a
fresbie for current?  I suppose the regular snapshot CD would be
sufficient as well, right?

How about the stability of the rest of current?  This is my work
desktop, and all my files are offsite, so I'm not too concerned about
weekly reliability, if I get better hw support day-to-day...do you run
current on any of your workstations?

Alternatively, is there a patch for 7-stable?  My work is as an OEM,
and all our devices get programmed over a ucom bootloader.  I'm pretty
much stuck until this is fixed...
