  I commented out that section of code and booted on a 5000/50.  It
appeared to work OK, but things hung up overnight.  I can't tell at the
moment if the hang was due to this change, or something else in the
kernel.  [This was a kernel build with very recent sources, so it's
possible that the problem could be due to other recent changes.]  I'm
rebooting with a kernel that includes the flush and will see how long that
runs.
