I want 5.4-rel, but 5.stable wasnt tagged in CVS when the error
went in, so I'm forced to do cvs export & boot attempt on HEAD = current

5.1 boots:       ok
1-Dec-2003:      OK
5.2.1           boots ok                2004.02.25
5.3:            Fails                   2004.11
5.4:            Fails

Its a boot error very early in boot sequence, a more knowledgeable
friend than I had problems trying to figure out what was crashing,
so I'm zeroing in on when the commit was done, then will inspect
suspect code.  I'm down to a 6 hour window now

        setenv TZ GMT; cvs -R export -D "2004-02-16 13:00" sys  # boots OK
        setenv TZ GMT; cvs -R export -D "2004-02-16 19:00" sys  # RUNNING
	cvs -R export -D "17-Feb-2004" sys      # Fails to boot

If I could be investigating 5.4 code, I would be,
but I'm searching for last bootable code before it broke.
