Dear all:

As you may have seen from current@ traffic, a bug crept in during the Capsicum merge, introduced by the infamous Last Minute Cleanup and not caught in pre-commit testing. The most noticed effect of the bug is to cause buildworld to fail due to a problem with /dev/{stdin,stdout,stderr} when running an affected kernel. The bug doesn't break buildkernel, so it's possible to update from bad revisions by doing that (or rolling back to a pre-update kernel). The problem appeared in r224778 (11 August), and was fixed in r224842 (13 August), so it's a pretty short window and hopefully the problem will scroll out quickly.

I'm currently awaiting approvel from re@ to commit a note to UPDATING saying the above.

Sorry about that!
