Has anyone else tried a -current kernel recently?  I've got a kernel
from last Friday night's (October 1) sources, and I ended up with a few
core files in / after two reboots:

	mona:/ 15> ls -lTtr *.core 
	-rw-------  1 root  wheel  147956 Oct  4 13:19:58 1999 awk.core
		Segmentation fault in sbrk()
	-rw-------  1 root  wheel   16804 Oct  4 13:24:00 1999 grep.core
		Illegal instruction (Hit heuristic-fence-post without finding)
	-rw-------  1 root  wheel  119284 Oct  4 13:24:37 1999 getty.core
		Illegal instruction in uname()
	-rw-------  1 root  wheel  160292 Oct  4 13:24:38 1999 portmap.core
		Segmentation fault in readtcp()
	-rw-------  1 root  wheel  172596 Oct  4 13:24:38 1999 inetd.core
		Segmentation fault (Hit beginning of text section without finding)

Seems pretty random - I'm back to my September 8 kernel with no
problems...

Simon.
