Should this show up in sysctl -a along with the rest
of kern.* ?  I don't see it there.


    It won't (yet) because it is a *loader* tunable.  It is
    different from sysctl tunable.  I will add a readonly sysctl
    for it later on.
Okay, thanks.  Meanwhile, is there any way for me to tell whether
the kernel actually saw and honored the entry in loader.conf?  Would
I see error messages in the logs if something went wrong?
My DFly box has been running just fine for 12 hours -- I hope I'm
really testing the right code  ;o)
