It may be worth specifying which files/revisions are responsible for a fix -- it might be useful for those who attempt to fix their kernel/rtld first. One thing I'm still missing is why groff binary now comes with only one PT_LOAD segment, and why this is Alpha specific? And why if I checkout old, -D2002/10/10 contrib/groff and gnu/usr.bin/groff and compile gnu/usr.bin/groff/src/roff/groff on the same machine (I tried it on beast.freebsd.org), it produces two PT_LOAD segments? (These are actually two things.)
