This may or may not be related:

About a week ago, I had some problems that showed up as not being able
to run various programs (no permission). Apparently, what happened was,
that all partitions were mounted noexec (and no-alot-of-of-other things)
during rc processing. Running mount and fsck in single user mode was Ok,
but booting to multi-user was not. Most of the times, fsck would complete
when run in single user mode, but not always. Rebuilding the libraries
and mount (and probably mount_ffs as well) cured the problem for me.

Other than that I've been running -current on my Q610 happily ever since
the signal breaking/fixing some time ago. Both my kernel and userland
follow -current quite closely, and the time window to expose my problem
was only a few (maybe one) day(s).
