ok.  If I haven't broken anything by doing only a partial recompile
after enabling "option DEBUG" etc., this is where it dies:

(gdb) list *(namei+0xb4)
0x12369b4 is in namei (/home/src-current/sys/kern/vfs_lookup.c:335).
330             if (cnp->cn_pnbuf[0] == '/') {
331                     dp = ndp->ni_rootdir;
332                     VREF(dp);
333             } else {
334                     dp = cwdi->cwdi_cdir;
335                     VREF(dp);
336             }
337             vn_lock(dp, LK_EXCLUSIVE | LK_RETRY);
338             for (;;) {
339                     if (!dp->v_mount) {

now what to do with that...?

In case it matters: the machine in question has only FFS file systems, 
with softdeps enabled.
