I'll have to try -current over the weekend... I don't really know if
my system is stable when idle, since each time I boot into NetBSD, I
try to run build.sh to see how it does under load.

Actually, I was confused and thinking of the wrong message... I've
seen "locking against myself", but it's been a while, and I don't
remember what I was doing when it happened. The panic with unionfs
that I still get all the time is "insmntque into dying filesystem".
Probably completely unrelated...

I have it boot into MacOS X by default; to boot NetBSD, I hold down
Cmd-Option-O-F and "boot hd:,ofwboot.xcf"
