This problem did not exist on FreeBSD 4.0 Release on this system. >Fix: I can look at the kernel code for this function and maybe fix it here , but if someone can tell me exactly how to fix this, I would appreciate it greatly. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
