I didn't see anything odd in the vmstat -i output that I posted to the list
earlier.  It looked more or less normal as the ntp offset suddenly went
insane.

I wasn't able to cause SMP on stable to break.

The silent reboots that I was seeing with WITNESS go away if I add
WITNESS_SKIPSPIN.  Witness doesn't complain about anything.

I tested -CURRENT and !SMP seems to work ok.  One difference in terms of
hardware between the two tests is that I'm using a SATA drive when
testing -STABLE and a SCSI drive when testing -CURRENT.

At this point, I think the biggest clues are going to be in the lock
profile results.
