That'd be it!  Thanks!

Ah, that'll be the problem -- I was defining it globally, and then I was
confused when symbols with the word "lockdebug" appeared in a user-land
library I was somewhat confused as I did indeed think LOCKDEBUG was
supposed to be a kernel-only option (thus my mistaken assumption that
defining it globally would be OK).

I don't remember what the downtime was on that i386 before I restarted
it recently, but it would have been several years -- before rump no
doubt.
