Well, if I do that it works.  Or at least some old version did, I
assume the later ones would too.  However, that sort of removes the
whole point.  Taking down the system enough to be able to unload
almost everything is as close as rebooting you'll get.

BTW, is there some easier way to track the development than using the
patches from the web page?  Unpatching after a couple of BK merges
isn't the easiest thing.  Is there a BK tree somewhere I can pull
from?
