If you have problems, please see if they persist with a CURRENT snapshot. If they do, please post to the current@ mailing list with details. - Christian --=20 Christian Brueffer chris@unixpages.org brueffer@FreeBSD.org GPG Key: http://people.freebsd.org/~brueffer/brueffer.key.asc GPG Fingerprint: A5C8 2099 19FF AACA F41B B29B 6C76 178C A0ED 982D --VV4b6MQE+OnNyhkM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHz0rgbHYXjKDtmC0RAmjwAJoCsP1l1EZCY8P0APJM6gZ0r4CeFgCg5SWV Lt0C6XvcWdn22iV5ApSXmXE= =uvpp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --VV4b6MQE+OnNyhkM--
