>Description:
	
	Since moving to egcs, kernels compiled with the default -O2 hang
	after "adb at obio0" on my Performa 63x. Kernels compiled with
	-O are OK; in fact, compiling adb.o, only, with -O is OK. My
	first guess is that the stack is being corrupted in one of the
	functions called by config_found_sm. This hammers a register or
	two on return. Pre-egcs, adb.o didn't use many registers, so it 
	didn't care; same without -O2.

	I do see at least one problem in adb.c, namely where
	aa-args.adbaddr, a u_char, is set to adbaddr, an int! I've
	tested the following patch against a few different sups in the
	past few weeks, and it seems to do the job consistently. Part of
	the difficulty is, that even without any change, the symptom
	disappears after innocuous changes to other parts of the kernel.
	That is, against any given sup, there's about a 50% chance the
	bug will manifest. Once you build a kernel with the bug though, 
	it will absolutely and consistently hang as described.

	This also bears on port-mac68k/2568. With this patch, I can
	begin moving the mouse continuously after the console appears 
	without ill effect. (Perhaps not coincidently, the outward 
	manifestation of that bug is the same as this one.) Moving the
	mouse continously, beginning when the kernel is loading, will
	still cause the hang, however, so perhaps there's more to it.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
	As above.
>Fix:
