I've had them in my local tree for : about 3 months now and just haven't found the time to commit to : -current. I'll find the time right now. I've committed the fix to the tree. NetBSD uses these numbers, and I've been using these numbers on a large number of systems that we maintain at timing solutions (they were added to our local tree prior to the 4.5 release, and we've built hundreds of ports since then w/o any issues). I've had them in my own personal p4 tree for 3 months with similar results. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
