FWIW, I discovered today that I'm able to reproducibly lock up my
laptop by runnning CVS commands over Kerberized rsh. The laptop was
running -current from about March 28. It was updated and rebuilt from
source today and the lock ups continue.

The laptop is a Thinkpad 41p, built from a modified GENERIC (with ACPI
enabled).

The command of death:

CVS_RSH=/usr/local/bin/krsh :ext:user@somehost.com:/cvsroot co -c
