OT: I've been trying to search the bsd list archives, but it appears broken. I can view one page of search results, but if I click a page further, I always end up with this error: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/mmsearch?config=freebsd-amd64;method=and;format=short;sort=score;words=update;page=2 htdig Archives Access Failure Path info. No list -2- If you want to make another attempt to access a list archive then go via the list users information page.
