Errata's are distributed with freebsd-update just like advisories.
Since freebsd-update 2 (the one in the base system) /usr/src is also
updated if it exists. That said, note that freebsd-update does not
get's patches from CVS so $FreeBSD$ unfortunatly isn't updated.
I just checked, for 6.3 the patch 'EN-08:01.libpthread' is on the
freebsd-update build server.
