I've recently noticed that there are a number of changes between CVS
tag "RELENG_3_2_0_RELEASE" in the CVS tree on the 3.2 CD-ROM CVS tree
and my CVS tree (updated via ctm).  I thought that the _RELEASE tags
were never changed after being laid down.

In total, 277 files are different, and one file
(src/lib/compat/compat22/ld.so.gz.uu) isn't on the CD-ROM.

Most of the changes appear to be just internal version differences
(though the direction of the changes varies - sometimes the CD-ROM has
a later version, sometimes my CVS tree does).  The number of
version differences (in the CVS/Entries file) is much smaller.

The following files contain real changes:  In the case of the ahc
driver, the changes are quite substantial.

src/contrib/groff/tmac/doc-common
src/contrib/groff/tmac/doc-syms
src/lib/compat/compat22/Makefile
src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_exit.c
src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_spec.c
src/release/sysinstall/cdrom.c
src/release/sysinstall/config.c
src/release/sysinstall/index.c
src/release/sysinstall/menus.c
src/release/sysinstall/package.c
src/release/sysinstall/sysinstall.h
src/release/texts/ERRATA.TXT
src/release/texts/README.TXT
src/release/texts/RELNOTES.TXT
src/sys/dev/aha/aha.c
src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.c
src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.h
src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.reg
src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.seq
src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm_symbol.c
src/sys/i386/eisa/ahc_eisa.c
src/sys/pci/ahc_pci.c

The following files appear to have been `corrupted' (in the sense that
CVS has destroyed the GNU version number) on the CD-ROM:
src/contrib/libgmp/configure
src/contrib/libgmp/texinfo.tex

This appears undesirable.  We wind up with a situation where someone
building a `3.2-RELEASE' system from a later release will wind up with
a system that is different to what he'll get if he uses the CVS tree
on the 3.2 CD-ROMs.  Worse, if he does a build-world based on the CVS
sources on the CD-ROM, he'll wind up with something different to the
binary distribution.  (The groff, sysinstall and release texts changes
_are_ in the binaries.  The ahc changes aren't.  I can't readily check
the threads changes).
