Thanks for the note.

I am in a bit of a quandry with my upgrade from RELENG_4_5 to RELENG_4_6.
1. I got the not-unfamiliar compiler bomb-out on alloc_entry.c in
ncurses/ncurses/tminfo (or close).
2. I backed off to RELENG_4_5 and got a clean cvsup and 'make buildworld'
3. RELENG_4_5 and RELENG_4_6 have identical versions of the file on which
cc bombed, and the version of gcc in 4_5 seems to be the latest, and
presumably the same as anticipated for 4_6. ['make' is a bit dated
(compared with what 'gcc' is claimed to need); perhaps I need to upgrade
that package.]
4. I followed 'make buildworld' in RELENG_4_5 with a 'cvsup' to
RELENG_4_6 and a 'make -DNOCLEAN buildworld', which ran cleanly to
completion, as did 'make buildkernel'.
#$%&!!!
My fear is that I'm running with part of my 'world' compiled in RELENG_4_5
sources and part in RELENG_4_6 sources. I guess as soon as I am running on
4_6, I will immediately remake 'world' and kernel and see how it goes.
I am seeing lots of log streaming by, but so far I don't think I've
actually learned anything.
Cheers, and thanks for the patient help.
