I noticed that none of the changes in the last update seemed at all relevant, yes. And thank you for the background (devread()). > The corruption is, most likely, in some unrelated piece of code.

I'll try -- but before I do, I've just removed a couple of custom stanzas from /etc/devd.conf (after noting that updating to r241776 does not appear to have affected the reported symptoms). So if the removal avoids the problem, that may reduce the searching a fair bit. :-) (I'm also informed by my spouse that I'm to help her prepare for some expected rain today; this may reduce the amount of time I am able to spend on it.) Adding the above-cited stanzas to devd.conf is one of the few things that I did on the laptop that I haven't done elsewhere -- and while I only track stable/9 daily on a couple of machines, I have 3 more that I update Sunday mornings .... which would be now. We shall see. :-} Peace, david -- David H. Wolfskill da...@catwhisker.org Taliban: Evil men with guns afraid of truth from a 14-year old girl.
