There were many calls for the maintainers of the driver to fix it, but zero response IIRC. Maybe making it on by default was a little hasty, but anyone that follows -CURRENT like they should if they run it weuld have been aware of this and set debug.mpsafenet=0 in their loader.conf when they saw that commit. I have been particlarly impressed by the entire way netperf has been handled especially the regular and verbose updates and explanations. Ian -- Ian Freislich
