That's what I feared. The really weird thing is that I get these
errors nearly exclusively in vnode_if.h -- can anyone help out what I
should look for? To repeat: this is a Quantum Lightning 730 together
with a Fujitsu M2614SA on an Adaptec 1542A host adapter.

Jordan, I'm sorry if this sounded offensive -- it wasn't meant that
way. Surely you folks worked under a high pressure to get something
out as soon as possible. I am very grateful for what you have done and
I am content with the fact that the result had to be less than ideal
given the circumstances.
