There's an even better reason to not MFC to 4.6.2. The patches committed so far don't fully fix the problem. :) The patchset I'm sending around now have promise, but won't be fully tested until the end of the week, so I'm not going to push for a merge into 4.6.2. The fact that it fixes Alexandr's problem is encouraging, though. Mike "Silby" Silbersack To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
