The FreeBSD I got is installed through FTP server at ftp.freebsd.com.  I
installed the FreeBSD last week.  I have checked the kern_clock.c, the
version is.....

kern_clock.c,v 1.28.2.1 1997/02/04 21:03:43 jhay Exp $

Then, I went to line 937, and I the source code I have was same as what you
have.

Do you think I should download and install the FreeBSD again?  BTW, the
current GENERIC kernel is running fine, I think may be I don't have to make
a customized kernel.  What do you think?  

Thanks for your time.
