FreeBSD uib-vpn-gw.uib.no 4.3-RC FreeBSD 4.3-RC #0: Thu Apr 19 14:49:54 CEST 2001     root@uib-vpn-gw.uib.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/VPN-GW  i386
>Description:
The dmesg only prints the last couple of lines from the message buffer, 
and the first line is only partially printed.

uib-vpn-gw# dmesg
p3
arplookup 192.168.0.1 failed: host is not on local network
arplookup 192.168.0.1 failed: host is not on local network
arplookup 192.168.0.1 failed: host is not on local network
arplookup 192.168.0.1 failed: host is not on local network
arplookup 192.168.0.1 failed: host is not on local network
uib-vpn-gw#

This is the rcsid of the dmesg with the trouble:
"$FreeBSD: src/sbin/dmesg/dmesg.c,v 1.11.2.1 2001/01/12 12:40:28 phk Exp $";

Copying an older dmesg from another box with the following rcsid,
fixes the problem:

"$FreeBSD: src/sbin/dmesg/dmesg.c,v 1.11 1999/08/28 00:12:36 peter Exp $";
