  So, to answer that question, it's not consistent.  I don't [yet] know if it 
changes with usage, or is unpredictable, but after rebooting the machine with 
the same kernel and userland (5.99.36, July 16), df -k shows:

tmpfs            529872          4     529868   0% /tmp

  (*shrug*)  I'll try a build, perhaps with a lower (or none) -j setting, and 
see if I can get up to current -current, just to make sure, but.

  Thanks.  Any ideas welcomed.
