There seem to be some files missing, at least in the srcdist of 
Jordan's Pat-Pend snapshot of 12-22.
---------
ls -al ./srcdist
-rw-rw-r--   1 jkh      wheel        2257 Dec 23 03:37 CKSUMS
-rwxrwxr-x   1 jkh      wheel       12624 Dec 23 03:37 do_cksum.sh

I blindly pulled these files down and, to my horror, got:
---------
%  tar zxvf /usr/distrib/srcdist/srcdist.tgz
[about a gajillion lines of tar blather snipped]
usr/src/sys/gnu/misc/aic7770/aic7770.c                                                                           
usr/src/sys/gnu/misc/aic7770/aic7770.seq
tar: Skipping to next file header...
 
tar: child returned status 1

Rut-roe!  

(The up-side is that the CKSUM's all looked good!)

Merry Christmas!

                       Someday I'll have a witty .sig
