You could have taken the time to check the code before jumping to conclusions about "filesystem corruption or equivalent". These are genuine bugs. The tinderbox didn't warn about them earlier because it didn't build other kernels than LINT and GENERIC, and these bugs are in machine-dependent code that isn't included in LINT and GENERIC. I enabled additional kernels after the arm / mips people complained that the arm / mips build was sometimes broken for weeks without anybody noticing. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
