To answer my own question---I see that ports has already been downgraded to 4.1.x--a quick perusal of the ports mailing list archives indicates that there have been enough problems with it so that it's felt it doesn't yet belong on STABLE. (And thank a couple of people that took the time to send me private mails informing me of that) Also, I realized afterwards, that as there are MD5 sums involved, it would have been more complex than simply changing the version number in the Makefile Thanks Scott Robbins To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
