I suspect you weren't sucking it in twice, but an infinite number of times, so you got "out of file descriptors" when the poor old shell got up to a few thousand copies! i.e. system scripts source /etc/default/rc.conf which does it's stuff and sources /etc/rc.conf which is the same script, so it does it's stuff and sources /etc/rc.conf which is the same script, so it does it's stuff and sources /etc/rc.conf etc. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
