How is it going, Peter, still running?

It took a little longer than I thought, but I finally
disabled PF today and switched to natd.

I'm still not sure, however polling made it possible to
use fxp0 without acpi, the hangs still occur and the serial
console still becomes unresponsive though.

On another wild guess I switched Tor's threading library
from libpthread to libthr. While it doesn't seem
to affect the uptime, it makes Tor's cpu usage visible
in top, so maybe it would be a good default for tor-devel?
