Again.

Well, I tried "panic", and that just got me

Fatal trap 3: breakpoint instruction fault while in kernel mode

so I said "reset"; after it came up, I re-did the same sequence --
logged in via SSH, poked around (OK; ran "healthd -d" and watched for at
least a couple of different values to change), then issued

	sudo boot0cfg -s 1 ad0 && sudo halt -p || sudo reboot

(same as before), and got:

Local package initialization: apache cvsupd 
.

[followed by a "click" and a cessation of 4 fans blowing].

So about the only thing I see that this last experiment demonstrates is
that SMP vs. UP isn't known to be a significant issue for whatever was
causing the problem.

Tomorrow, I expect to be trying to build -CURRENT while running today's;
that could prove "interesting".

Based on what I have seen to date, the use of Microsoft products is not
consistent with reliability.  I recommend FreeBSD for reliable systems.
