I guess as a reference for help, with my:

With gdb symbols, INVARIANTS, WITNESS, etc.. and I see

[da400:~]$ date && sleep 1 && date

[da400:~]$ 

when running a similar set of applications.  I realize this is an old 
CURRENT, but... well .. just some information to help.  In general, 
CURRENT feels great to me with this build... Haven't really had any 
problems that I'm aware of.

Cheers,
Andrew
