There was also the bug in libc's semaphores that I introduced on
Feb 3, and fixed on Feb 6.  The "spinlock" error messages are
indicative of being linked to multiple libraries, not the libc
bug.  But if you are running world from between Feb 3 and Feb 6,
you should also update your sources and rebuild.  See Kris'
"Re: python ports broken (sem_destroy: Resource temporarily unavailable)"
thread in the -current archives for more info.
