Do you have any evidence that there is anybody else besides Mike who has this problem? Also, I usually try to "sort out" things after there is a clear understanding of what the problem is and how it should be fixed. > Reverting and fixing it later seems like the safest option to me.

I do not see any problem with the code*.* I do not see any explanation of the root cause of the problem that Mike has. I do not see why anything has to be reverted. Especially because "since we're so close to 9.2-REL". Just in case, I'll remind that the commit in question is in stable/9 since Dec 23 2012. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
