This probably boils down to just one "make release" subcommand I need
to give at the right stage, after putting my copied ports tree and/or
package tree in the right magic place, but I'm not getting it. I'd
appreciate a hint from anybody who knows this ste
ant function. (The "pkg_replace" function
*sounds* promising but has almost no information on what it actually
does.)

mind that because GigE uses more of the cable pairs in an
RJ-48 than 100baseTX does, a defective or improperly wired crossover
cable between two machines may work fine for 100baseTX and fail for
1000baseTX.
I strongly suspect that that's your problem. Try replacing the cable

This makes benchmarks on select() primarily of historic interest.
