Yeah, so I restate, get to work.. ;-P  Unfortunately there aren't any real 
errors.  I don't know if that is because of crash problems or what.  I have 
seen a couple of _pthread_spin_mutex issues on the console but not 
consistently.  Usually it just kind of hangs there.  The console is there 
but the system is just dead.  I am afraid that it might be the >2gb ext2fs 
stuff with the big partitions since my other machine is relatively stable 
(though it dies on big builds like glibc too).

There's 4.  I would like to throw my name in the NM queue but that might 
take a while.  Who else?

We can just give them the list of names from #hurd.. ;-P
