Presently I'm running a kernel compiled from CVS as of yesterday, but
the problem I found went away two days ago or so (using whatever was
current then).

Something like:
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@xxxxxxxxxxx/cvs login
"cvs" <enter>
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@xxxxxxxxxxx/cvs co linux-2.5-xfs
cd linux-2.5-xfs/linux
cp path/to/present/.config .config
make oldconfig
make dep bzImage modules

I don't know official if it should, but it certainly lags a fair
amount at times. Maybe someone from SGI can comment on how often
stuff is pushed to Linus?

I'm talking, in this instance, about something 'working' now that
didn't a few days ago (being no longer able to get xfsdump getting
stuck in io_schedule).
In general though, it would seem Linus' tree lags by a few days to
over a week at times.
