Well, I've started geting a number of calcru errors after a recent upgrade to
RELENG_7 May 30 2008 (from ~march 2008 RELENG_7), on a x86 Athlon
machine that never exhibited these symptoms before. Didn't have time yet
to investigate if it really is fbsd's fault or just a dying hw, so it
would be quite
daring to suggest a regression. I'll probably wait if more people turn out in
some time with "me too", or if the hw just explodes..whatever comes first.
