Thank you, Sir Frank!  Indeed, my machine is running well now (first
MP build in about four months).  Netscape works and doesn't crash me,
and I can run Netscape, xmame and xmms at once.

I am getting quite a few "simple_lock: locking against myself" messages.
I left ddb out of the kernel so that anyone at home using the system
can just hit return and have it reboot (besides, when it hangs, I
can't get to the text screen from X -- F12 doesn't seem to do the trick).

...but these lock messages haven't panicked me yet...

On the other hand, the apm0 device will cause a panic at startup...
(not shown as it never gets recorded)
