Hello All.

message titled "Memory problem":

What does the "-p6" nomenclature represent in the above statement?
I've noticed some messages have contained various "-pX's".  I recently
just installed FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p0 (according to -uname command)
from a FreeBSD Mall 4-CD set, dated May 2006.  Does this "-p" number
represent an updated ?Version? containing new patches or ...?

Thanks in advance.
