Hi,

This is an update of my situation.

I have been using NetBSD 11/27 with LOCKDEBUG and Manuel's
last patch.  It is running over 3 days without any crashes.
However, it is running slow.  Especially, WinXP running on
xen3-hvm is really slow.  Maybe alot of locks to run WinXP?

I'm afraiding this will not crash.  Because I'm thinking
that this slowness may hide the rare condition causing the
crash previously.

Anyway, it's running, so I will leave it as is for a while
to see whether it crashes or not.  If you have any idea to
try, please let me know.  Thanks.
