AFAIAC, the ATA bug fix is one of the issues. The others are OpenSSH, Apache, and the resolver bug.

Why not include OpenSSL 0.96d, ipfw2, gcc 3.1 and while we're at it everyone else's pet software? Where would you draw the line? IMO, 4.6.1 s/b a point patch release. -- Cheers, Phone: 250-387-8437 Cy Schubert Fax: 250-387-5766 Team Leader, Sun/Alpha Team Email: Cy.Schubert@osg.gov.bc.ca Open Systems Group, CITS Ministry of Management Services Province of BC FreeBSD UNIX: cy@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
