sup.netbsd.org is awfully slow, at least for me.
Make sure you try its mirrors. I use wipux2.wifo.uni-mannheim.de, maybe this is
also OK for UK users.

This isn't in the supable source as ffs_update is in the MI part
(/sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_inode.c), right?
Mark, could you please make the relevant patch available? This would be very
important for me as I'm using self-compiled kernels almost exclusively.
