Yes, I did.  Yes, I did.  I did test via manually trying a bos salvage 
and no salvager ran.  There was some strange defunct process with 
bosserver as the parent.  I also manually forced a salvage and it 
appeared to work, there was just no bosserver / salvager interaction.

I guess it is possible that I didn't remove some binary.  I can retest 
if you believe I am at fault.  I did compile and install rc6 from cvs 
using the same process, and it does work (its still running right now on 
one of my servers,) so I don't think there are mixed binaries on my 
system.

I heard from some people off-list that they have seen this same 
behaviour when compiling on sun4x_510, so as I said, I have no idea what 
is going on.

Let me ask this, has anyone sucessfully compiled from cvs head with:
./configure --with-krb5-conf=/usr/local/bin/krb5-config --enable-transarc-paths 
 --enable-bitmap-later --enable-fast-restart --enable-supergroups --enable-bos-new-config 
 --enable-debug-lwp  and had it work on the

(I don't care so much about the bos-new-config and bitmap-later, but the 
fast-restarts are nice.)
