  Juan, I note that the problem reported last month with a pair of
minilogd's and devfsd apparently deadlocking still doesn't have a
solution. I'm still waiting for an strace of devfsd so that I can
figure out what's going wrong. Merely delaying the start of devfsd
may simply be hiding a deadlock in the devfs code.

Please take a little time to reproduce the deadlock and strace
devfsd. I want to resolve this issue.

                                Regards,

                                        Richard....
