On a similar note:  FreeBSD is starting the process for branching
and releasing FreeBSD 10.0.  (The whole process will take a few
months, but it means we need to get bugs isolated and fixed NOW.)

I would *love* to have a solid, stable FreeBSD/ARM for 10.0.
(If nothing else, I started tinkering with BeagleBone in late 2011
specifically so I could move my personal email server onto one. ;-)

To get there, we need as many people as possible:
  * Running the bleeding edge FreeBSD.
  * Reporting problems.
  * Helping to diagnose those problems.

Q:  Does anyone know a good way to test userland locking?

     Diane Bruce has been continuing to dig into the issue that
     broke sshd a while back; the clues point to some issue in
     jemalloc (possibly locking related?).

Q:  Has anyone tried running some or all of the FreeBSD
      regression tests?
