There's nothing wrong with zyd.  It just has the misfortune of being the 
last module to be built.
I was building the kernel with nanobsd, which uses "make -j3" by default.
Running multiple make jobs at the same time like that made it impossible 
for me to see that the build was really crashing because I'd left 
something important out of my kernel configuration.
