I have just tried to reproduce your problem on 8.2 and on head, and failed. I've found some reports in my private emails that claim that problem is only present only in 8.0 and 8.1. However, I haven't find the actual fix in commitlogs. -- Totus tuus, Glebius. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
