I've tried to get this going on my SS2, using a source tree from this
tuesday (or was it wednesday?), adding only SOFTDEP and CODA to my old
configuration (from 1.4K), and it crashes during startup with a "trap
type 7" in named (when ntpdate wants to set the time, and my caching
named tries to find the needed addresses for the ntp servers).  I
haven't had time to try without the two added options, but will do so,
hopefully tonight.
