Justin,
We've seen enough evidence of "kernel freezing" to warrant setting 
vm.read_shortcut_enable to zero for the release.  I think SJG also 
recommended this on the mail list but I can't find it, so it must have 
been over IRC (and could have been somebody else!)
The PR is: http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2542

I didn't see any comment that changed the default for vm.read_shortcut. 
  I would recommend checking this before cutting a release image.

Regards,
John
