Still no good.  I deleted /usr/obj and updated to latest -HEAD this
morning, recompiled/installed both world and GENERIC kernel.  Once
again, I took out the SIGFPE so I could run things.  I booted single
user and mounted my fs.  Both fsck and mount caused the error.  Idle
in single-user the error doesn't occur.  Other commands do too, but
some don't or sometimes do.  'ls' is one example.   By itself, it does
not produce the error, but ls -l does.  ls -R does not but ls -lR
does.  dmesg by itself doesn't, but dmesg with an invalid option
(dmesg -v) does.  Hopefully this is helpful.
