   Would it be possible, and potentially valuable, to keep running a 4.0
userland, and run a -current (or something closer to HEAD) kernel and
a matching pthread library for such?  Or, is that sort of version-mixing
just too much to work?

   milter-greylist isn't very usable for me right now, because it  
crashes
somewhere [I believe] due to the pthreads code.  They're pretty much
all with libmilter calls in the backtrace, too, so perhaps any milter
would fail, threaded or no.
