:) and the "good" news, is that I finally managed to get a boot to fail
locally. I'm not bisecting and debugging the problem. I've fixed this
before, so I don't expect it will take too long.

I see that Saul picked up the support and plumbing for this, so if that
merges, I'll send incremental updates to the SRCREVs. I'll ignore
any high priority bugzilla entries on principle, since this is still baking
and we just want to get the plumbing in place :)

Cheers,

Bruce
