  A little while ago when testing a hardware bug triggered by a system
build I noticed that removing a build object directory while running a
build in a different (but similarly named) directory caused a panic in
cache_lookup (uvm_fault on 0xdeadb000, according to my notes).  This is on
1.6W i386, and I was able to repeat it two or three times.  I wanted to
look into it further before sending a PR, but didn't get a chance yet.  I
do run with both DEBUG and DIAGNOSTIC, so it might just be a debug code
error.  However, if others are having name cache issues this could be
related.
