The following reply was made to PR bin/3885; it has been noted by GNATS.

If you could send me some LQR logs showing the "oddness", I'd be *very* interested. I'm currently under the impression that there are no LQR problems :| - that's as of June 20. > I'll upgrade my personal workstation at work to 2.2-9706XX-RELENG > and redo the testing with cisco.

Nope. The www.freebsd.org/~brian version is hacked so that it has its own libalias & libutil stuff - it should build on pretty much any version of FreeBSD. It's the same as RELENG_2_2 except for the Makefile & hacked libs. > Thanks a lot for your helpful attention! > No problem. > > Best regards, > Andrew Stesin > > nic-hdl: ST73-RIPE I'll close the pr, so the gnats cc isn't necessary in any replies.
