  I've been fucked by FreeBSD and saved by NetBSD too many times.

  I've explained this upteen times by now...the point is that as much
of the SMP stuff as possible was done in a platform-independent way,
and as such, took a whole lot longer.

  SMP on i386, VAX, and Alpha have been stable for some time.
