Bruce: I previously reported that my ThinkPad T41 was not affected by 
this problem.  I was using 5.2.1-RELEASE.  Yesterday I upgraded to 
5.2-CURRENT as of 2004.07.06.  The laptop now panics on startup.  See 
http://www.langille.org/ibm-thinkpad-t41-2004.07.06.patched.trace.jpg

FWIW, the above system has been patched with the code provided by 
green in 
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=921840+0+current/freebsd-
current (I think that is the correct URL, but cannot verify it as the 
website is down).

I'm working on getting a serial console going, but I'm finding my 
options limited.  There is no serial port on this laptop.
