I applied the patches to the latest OPENBSD_3_6 cvs (stable branch), and
after fixing up a few things, got a kernel out. Some of the things
have already been applied to the 3.6 stable branch.

If you are interested, I have a patch against 3.6 at
http://scl.ameslab.gov/~troy/obsd-3.6-pim.patch

Any ideas on the segfault? I'm waiting for a complete rebuild at the
moment on the off chance the PIM headers changing caused something
goofy. What should I start looking at?

(FYI, I used the stock openbsd gcc-2.95 compiler)
