Does 4.03 on i386 work for you in -current? I would be surprised if it
did. 4.7 is a big slow pig, and I really don't have time to wait for it to
stop in a random and superficially nondeterministic way, and then rattle
the disk 200 times before proceeding. I keep both versions around; I use
4.03 most of the time and start 4.7* for some secured pages.
Actually, both 4.03 and 4.7 are goofy, did you know that thing forks off
and runs netstat(1) when it starts up?!
