I rebuilt a kernel with the only change from 5/30 sources being to
update ffs_softdep.c to v. 1.13, and re-enabled softdeps on all
file-systems. The instant panics on running the mail spool are gone.
I'm pulling down the latest sources now, to try to build a kernel and
userland. ("make build" is where it paniced before.)
