This was also reported by numerous people. See thread: <Pine.BSF.4.21.0209231037310.62714-100000@root.org> I received NO replies but am not the maintainer of libfetch. So this message will serve as a warning -- if someone more familiar with the code does not fix it the "right" way, I will fix it and you may not like it. http://www.dlc.fi/~frog/wavs/failure2.wav -Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
