In the DTrace commit message thread, you mentioned that you were upgrading from an old 8-STABLE to 9 when you got the hang. Could you quantify how old that 8-STABLE was/is? If it's pre-8.3 it would be really helpful if you could upgrade to 8.3 and test that. If that works then I think a note in UPDATING would be sufficient as our historical policy has been to support upgrading to release X.Y from (X-1).<newest>. If it turns out that we need to upgrade to 8.4 we may need to consider backing this out for a bit. -- Brooks
