...unless you have a KA650, in which case -current is less stable than
1.3.2 was.  I can get -current to crash or to hang with the
"scheduler: no room for pid N" message on a KA630 too, if I load it
down enough, but it's extremely repeatable on the KA650, making that
a for all practical purposes unsupported platform for the time being.

With a very fresh -current, it seems that the scheduler hang is the
most common failure mode, and it happens whenever I run anything
that's a real memory hog, such as 'make'.
