Remember, glaciers are retreating at record speed, so glacial is a relative 
term :)

I've got -CURRENT GENERIC here, with 

options         DDB                     # Enable the kernel debugger
options         INVARIANTS              # Enable calls of extra sanity 
checking
options         INVARIANT_SUPPORT       # Extra sanity checks of internal 
struc
tures, required by INVARIANTS
options         WITNESS                 # Enable checks to detect deadlocks 
and
 cycles
options         WITNESS_SKIPSPIN        # Don't run witness on spinlocks for 
sp

in addition, my make.conf sets -g for everything, so the whole system is built 
with debugging all the time. It runs smoothly.
