Adi, Ruslav helped me out with this last month. If you are determined to stick as close as possible to 4.4 Release (as opposed to tracking RELENG_4, I have a simple solution for you. Here is a reply from Ruslav with the list of files to add to the 4.4 Release source tree to make a backport that will work on 4.1.1. I did this and it worked fine. I even cheated and just used the web CVS interface to gather the 7 files ;-) Jason > > Yes, 4.1R -> 4.4R upgrade path was broken.

Again, we just can't merge fixes to already released versions. If you want 4.4-RELEASE, you'll have to backport the fix yourself.
