I'm afraid that's because __FreeBSD_version wasn't bumped 800107->800500 in RELENG_8 just after RELENG_8_0 created (wrt changes in scheme for RELENG_8 timeframe where current/stable border moved to 800500: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2009-June/007830.html It continued then as is (still ok), and eventually was incremented to 800108 (wrong here, though I hope it still can be safely corrected). -- wbr, pluknet
