I thought the feature freeze was in december and the code freeze in januari. I didn't make it in januari and was "unavailable" in februari and this fix is not one you rush in (IMO of course). It has been posted before and noone thought it was urgent enough to rush it in anyway... The bottomline is known... BTW: If a fix is easy, then that doesn't mean that it isn't potentially dangerous :-) -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
