All problems we felt needed to be addressed before 6.2 could be released
have been taken care of.
It still runs networking daemons into a frozen zoneli state on
heavy/(D)DOS network loads. Such processes cant be kill-9ed so there is
no way to recover from it. (think frozen sshd and a very remote/headless
server).
See the stress test panic called 'Ran out of "128 Bucket"
<http://people.FreeBSD.org/%7Epho/stress/log/cons210.html>' on the 6.2
todo list and my own latest test here:
http://www.maniacs.se/~junics/temp/vmstat-z.txt
This test was on a new 6.2-RC2 install with no zone limit tweaks nor any
sbsize limits in /etc/login.conf.
I just made a vm disk image with replication instructions, however Peter
Holm have replicated it with his own tools so i have not bothered with
it until now.

Unless further testing turns up something new
RC2, which is available now for dowloading, will be the last of the
Release Candidates and 6.2-RELEASE should be ready in about 2 weeks.
Your continued help with testing would be greatly appreciated. If you
notice any problems with RC2 you can submit a PR or send mail to this
list.
