You should be running 4.5, which | you can get by cvsuping using the tag RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE, or the tag | RELENG_4 if you wish to be at the head of developments on the -stable | branch. This is not wise advice. There are lots of circumstances where 4.3 is perfectly fine and can be shown to work while 4.4 and 4.5 are broken. I have had to revert to 4.3 on several machines after attempting unsuccessfully to run 4.4 and 4.5 (and current, for that matter).
