I'm not sure if it's before or after your changes, Poul-Henning.  If there is
a newer -RELEASE I can upgrade too, I will do that.  I don't really want to
upgrade to -STABLE, but I will also do that to relieve the issue if necessary.
Just give me a recommendation on to either update RELEASE beyond -p1 or to
go ahead and update to -STABLE.

I appreciate the help all of you have been.

Thanks much.
