The system built and ran, though. Unfortunately I'd zapped the cvsup log; so I don't have exactly which were the files. I don't remember which server I cvsup'ed from... I think it was cvsup10.freebsd.org or so. A new cvsup today (June 26) from cvsup2.freebsd.org had no more of those errors, so I suppose things are right again.
