The ports collection is usually very quickly changing. Within hours of a bug being reported, it is often fixed. Therefore, when you see a bug but only get around to reporting it a few days later, you should either * first check whether it's already been fixed * at least check whether it's already been reported (i.e. consult the freebsd-ports mailing list archives) Thanks, Kris
