I've just FTPd the floppy images from ftp.freebsd.org (the 2.2-GAMMA 970225 images); and tried my "dup alloc" test case. 2.2-GAMMA continues to fail this test... so, the problem still exists there (at least as of 2/25.) Since so few people have reported this problem; and so many people are successfully running 2.2 (as they did previous releases) I don't think we should hold up 2.2 for this fix... it would be nice to fix it, though. - Dave Rivers -
