I'd say if you don't have problems running -current then yes. I saw
couple problems U1 and -current related so be aware.
W/regard to dump problem: it's much easier to debug a problem if you
have 'a working case', so I'd compare ktraces from dump runs under -current
and 1.6.1 kernels. BTW, dump forks several child processes so you need to use
ktrace -i to include children.
