I haven't run "make buildworld" and "make buildkernel" since 28 April because I'm trying to minimize being forced to reboot by the kernel's memory management bugs, so my stable/11 system still says "11.4-PRERELEASE". It has been long enough since 11.3 happened that I don't recall whether it went through a transition period of BETAx and RCx changes as it changed from 11.2 to 11.3. Of course, those memory management bugs first caused big problems starting when 11.2 happened, so I may have missed some of the transition due to infrequent system updates. I only remember that it won't say it's 11.4-STABLE until the release happens and I've updated /usr/src and built and installed a new system. Scott Bennett, Comm.
