experiment is complete. Please do not turn off BIOS serial console
redirection, or modify any settings associated with console
redirection!

+ Check software configurations before testing --
+ specifically, use uname to confirm that the right kernel is running,
+ that it's not configured for WITNESS or INVARIANTS if that's not
+ needed, and that /etc/malloc.conf is set to "aj" if no debugging is
+ desired. Use 'ps' and 'pkg_info' to make sure only the software you
+ expect is running, and that the version of the software you expect is
+ installed.
