Apologies to those who have already hit

    6447223 assertion failed: file: ../../common/disp/thread.c, line: 930

but the putback yesterday of the fix for

    6351092 Race for t_ctx in removectx() can lead to panic.

causes (at least) multiprocessor amd64 boxes to panic on boot.  This
putback is being backed out, and the i386 archives have been moved aside so
that no one else runs into trouble.  If we hear that sparc exhibits the
problem, then those archives will be marked DOA as well.

Archives prior to and including daily.0709 should be safe.
