Yes, a clean install.
No, the sysinstall version of /etc/group did not have the tag.

This may affect binary installs of 3.4R as well, but I didn't pay too much
attention and also CVSup'd it to -stable right after install.  Not to
mention this was about a month back.

FYI - I start with a fresh binary install after releases and CVSup to
-stable (or -current lately ;).

Yes, I did merge them.

Thanks for the tip on sdiff.  Usually "save it for later" and merge manually.
