Bruce: I think this answers my question.  My ThinkPad T41 is now in 
the shop getting a new system board (I hope).  When it returns, I was 
considering running -CURRENT on it rather than 5.2.1-RELEASE.  Your 
experience above has encouraged me to try it.  I'll cvsup to the 
above date and let you know how it goes.... when I get it back.

Anyone else running -CURRENT on a laptop have any 
recommendations/warnings/comments?

On a side note Bruce: Do you buildworld on your laptop or another 
box?
