The intent of my message is just to let the authors of this code know that it is *not* equal in functionality to what was removed. As I said in my original message, it would be nice to see that functionality restored. It may very well be that the authors are aware of this, and just don't give a damn. I prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
