In attempting to diagnose why I'm having jumbo-frame problems with a wm
interface on my G4/466 running -current (~24h old), I tried compiling a
kernel with "options MCLSHIFT=13", in hopes it would allow me to ping
across the jumbo-frame link with packets larger than 2002 bytes.

However, upon booting a kernel which is basically GENERIC with "options
MCLSHIFT=13", the boot hangs thusly:

        riz@grendel:/usr/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/GENERIC.MCL
total memory = 1024 MB
avail memory = 987 MB


...then nothing.  A kernel with MCLSHIFT=12 seems to boot and work OK
(although it doesn't fix my jumbo frame issue - on a link with MTU 4500,
I still can't get ping packets larger than 2002 bytes across!  "cksum:
out of data" from every packet)

So, anyone else see this?  Should I send-pr?  How should I go about
troubleshooting this, anyway?  :)
