I've been doing the usual make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel shutdown -r now make installworld mergmaster shutdown -r now procedure and the problem has always happened on the final shutdown. Stopping inetd.

Each time this has happened, fsck finds and nukes a bunch of empty directories. The last time this happened, the /etc/rc.d/yp* files that mergmaster updated were missing after the reboot and fsck had done its work. Nothing has ever shown up in lost+found. Has anyone else seen this?
