I did some digging, and it looks like I replaced the disk on July 7,
2004, and my last kernel+world build before that was on June 20.  I
don't remember if I was seeing problems before then, but my previous
builds were on May 28, May 22, and Apr 23.  4.10 was released on May
27.

I looked around in CVS and didn't see any suspicious commits around that
time.
