The -current snapshot is probably fine. It certainly makes it easier to
track -current from there on.

A major snag to watch out for is the -current scsi driver on machines like
SS1, which doesn't handle SCSI 2 disks very well.

Last I heard, someone was building a fresh copy that can replace the
apparently corrputed one on the ftp sites. Maybe I'll just bundle up
the installed version on my machine (it has been working fine for months).
