My 1.6X kernel is pretty solid acting as a squid proxy, news
server and firewall for a 512/256 ADSL connection but I don't run the X
Server on it. I've been wanting to mess around with IPv6 tunnels but
with all the changes I can't get a working 1.6ZC kernel. I'll keep
digging as and when I have the time though.

Appears to hang at the first access locking the machine solid. This is
1.6X current (PMAP_NEW). The floppy drive was working a view revisions
back but I couldn't tell you the commit that broke it.
