It was doing early SMP development which tended to have some scarey consequences on filesystems at times. :-] Are you sure you're doing a 'make depend' after each config(8) run and after building for the first time after a cvsup run or cvs update? Yes, a 'make depend' is required whenever the sources change any of their include files. > Ciao, > Sheldon.
