I'm seeing something possibly related (possibly not) on an Alpha with
this morning's -current. First I was getting unaligned accesses and
core dumps from the "cp" in /etc/rc that updates the /etc/motd file.
(I added "set -v" to /etc/rc to catch it.) But I could do the copy by
hand once the system was up. Now on the latest reboot I got this from
it:
+ cp /tmp/_motd /etc/motd
+ chmod 644 /etc/motd
chmod: : No such file or directory
chmod in free(): warning: recursive call
chmod in free(): warning: recursive call
chmod in free(): warning: recursive call
chmod in free(): warning: recursive call
(Hmm, why didn't the filename come out in chmod's error message?)
I'm running with soft-updates but I'll try turning them off.
