Hi Alex, glad to see you're still keeping track of these issues .. In there ume@ says that his patch was committed .. do you know if it was MFC'd back to 7.x? 6.x? Perhaps the docs haven't caught up yet? There are only going to be a lot more of these around .. cheers, Ian _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
