I have recently installed the latest 4.3-RC and the problem still occurs problem (not fixed). The problem we have is with threaded children after a fork() which can't be properly cleaned up. I think the problem needs to be addressed for 4.3-RELEASE, and I was wondering about the status of this fix (also related to PR bin/25110). The relevant messages from the thread are listed below: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=473293+475324+/usr/local/www/db/ text/2001/freebsd-current/20010318.freebsd-current http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=276033+282313+/usr/local/www/db/ text/2001/freebsd-current/20010318.freebsd-current I think James was previously tracking this in freebsd-current, and I bring it to freebsd-stable in hopes of having it fixed and not having to apply source-patches on some 45 servers after the 4.3-RELEASE upgrade.
