To reproduce a fatal error and provoke stupid questions? No, to have a bug exposed and hopefully fixed by someone in the near future. Sadly I'm no programmer, wouldn't even know where to start looking for this bug, so I can't fix it myself. Bugs like these do need fixing though, and exposing them on this mailing list seems like the proper way to go if you don't know how to fix it yourself. Nobody's forcing you to actually repeat the steps on a production system ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
