The version I have (the original printing) shows the ISBN
1-57176-216-7 in both places. I suspect that the differing ISBN is
due to a reprint (I've forgotten the details of ISBNs, but they're not
overly good for identifying books exactly for this reason.

WC supplies the book with the latest version of FreeBSD. If you
recently got 2.2.6, you should complain to your supplier.
