 I wonder if the bug is reproduceable in a neighborhurd.  I didn't encounter
this bug, Wolfgang did continuously, moritz did encounter it off and on.  I
know Wolfgang booted the hurd directly, yet I booted it using serverboot, 
if that has something to do with it then a neighborhurd may not help.

  Anyway, really what I want to find out is what setups encountered this?

 I booted using gnumach v1 and serverboot from a hard reboot, an fsck was 
needed.

 Should the base tarball include a reboot script for people who wait for a new
tarball to upgrade?
