2.1.5 has this (and many other things) fixed :-)

If "mission-critical", no .. if to be used as a system to teach, probably
not (2.1.5 + kerberos-related patch is sufficient for most).

If to be used by people who know the difference between their own
programming errors and problems with the distributed utilities and/or kernel
.. use -current *and* subscribe to the current mailing list.

Also note that, unless you *really* know what you're doing, "backing out" an
upgrade to -current usually requires:

	i) a tape drive and
	ii) a backup of what it was before .. :-)

 .. or a re-install.

Hope this helps,

	michael
