Now, as most of the "old timers" here know, my jail environment makes use

The first was to use mount_devfs to, of course, mount the /dev directory
within the jail itself ...
The second, I used the same /dev that existed within the jail, based on
bulding a jail using a 4.x system ...
In both cases, the hang appears to be at the same spot, where 'sendmail'
(in this case, the postfix port) starts up ...
It would also be interesting to know: if you take unionfs out of the picture
(i.e., you use a regular file system for testing purposes), does the problem
go away?
Just checked this, and yes, the jail starts if unionfs is not involved ...
the problem is in unionfs itself :(
And, there hasn't been any changes that I can see in unionfs since May
3rd ... so it seems a fairly 'long standing' bug :(
