> > Please don't crosspost. Thanks. Now - here's an interesting phenom. (If I can take a tangent for awhile.) I didn't intentionally cross-post - I merely hit `r' to R)eply in Mail, and didn't pay attention to the headers. Now - on this e-mail I did pay attention to the To: lines. But I notice that the topic is now going to a list I don't read. So - should I redirect to a list I do read (which is where I originally saw the posting) - or - should I simply hope my name is now included directly in the To: line? Or, should I, some weeks from now simply ask on the lists to which I subscribe, "whatever happened regarding XXX"? Or, to stay informed, should I now intentionally cross-post (which is agreed, not a "good thing.") That is, the absence of a cross-post (which I agree, shouldn't be there) will potentially leave me out-of-the-loop. I get many hundreds of e-mails (sometimes thousands) a day from the lists I'm already on - I'm not sure subscribing to a new one, which may be the "right" answer, is at all practical.

Yes - you are right - as soon as the 3.3-RELEASE CDs get here, I will try it out. Also, I believe one of the original posters indicated he saw the problem in 3.x - so, _if_ this is the same problem, a data point that shows the issue came to light in an older release can help debugging efforts. And, if this is not the same problem - then my e-mail becomes random aggravating noise... that deters from a solution to either problem... But, I add it in the hopes that it contributes. And - for now - please try and CC: me on the discussions. - Dave Rivers - -- rivers@dignus.com Work: (919) 676-0847 Get your mainframe (370) `C' compiler at http://www.dignus.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
