I'm not running powerd, no.

The system doesn't seem to have frozen since DRI/DRM was disabled.

I did have one crash/reboot whilst building a large number of packages
with tinderbox. I've currently got both tinderbox and a make -j 16
buildworld going on a loop in the hope that I can trigger it again.

Being the idiot I am, I had encrypted swap enabled and so savecore
didn't save anything. Won't make that mistake twice.

I'm currently using a world compiled WITH_DEBUG but is there anything
else I can do?

thanks,
