Hi,
Thanks for that info.
I first tried looking into a fix someone sent me off-list, but it did
not apply to the problem I'm having.
I'll need a bit more time before I can install a snapshot.
Hopefully I can say if it fixes the problem I'm having before the 4.9
release.
I'm now downloading the files from the 2 March snapshot.
Installing a snapshot doesn't sound very practical though for a
production system.
There is no src.tgz either is there ?
Is there a tag in CVS which points to the source checkout when the
snapshot was made ?
Just in case it doesn't fix it and I want to check some things.
Maybe I should just build it from a CVS-checkout of OPENBSD_4_9 instead ?
That ought to all be stable code right ?
Thanks again.
Have a nice day,
Leen.
