In other words, move, gzip, or otherwise negate any miscellaneous object files. They may be causing some of this. Otherwise, it's time to dig into the src code itself. gary PS: I think you're right that /stand/sysinstall ought to be rebuilt with each buildworld up-rev. It would've saved me 1 1/2 days of grief. -- Gary D.
