X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2005 12:21:57 -0000 Hello Kris (& list), Thanks for helping the 1750 and 2850 owners on this list. Unfortunately I cannot find any references to the leak or the fix you are referring to in the Release errata (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/errata.html). We are trying really hard to resolve the stability issues with our Dell servers and would be very happy to know when the fix for what was committed. No way we'll be upgrading to 6.0 without knowing exactly what is going on (remembering broken 4.10 -> 5.3 systems) ...
