At your suggestion I tried this. (No one using the machine... may as well let
it crash) I hadn't yet due to previous problems with getting a stable kernel
built. 

Needless to say pine works fine now. Ktraced or not, even run multiple times.

It no longer exhibits after-run on the drive either. The HD used to jump around
for a while after quitting pine.

Greg tells me the only thing he has finished was the make world that was on
hold until the kernel was stable enough. Checking the .so libs shows that
they haven't changed at all either.

In the meantime though I have rebuilt httpd (NCSA, was CERN) lynx, elm,
and tin.

No more ffs_alloccgs at the moment, but now we get an occasional
panic: nfsreq nogrps
of which we had 2-3 yesterday but we're up 23:21 right now...
