On my pmax, I hand-reverted the above cited update yesterday, and now the machine is still running
with this code in a kernel otherwise based on yesterday's sup.

It has now rebuilt libraries and it is busily rebuilding the rest of userland, at this moment
it is in usr.bin/logger.

With the hanging problem, I would sometimes have several hangs/reboots just while building a
kernel, so it seems to be better.
