I'm very confident that FreeBSD Update is distributing the updated libpthread.so. 2. If you run ident on the libpthread.so.2 which FreeBSD Update distributes, or look at the src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_kern.c which FreeBSD Update distributes, you'll see the old 1.116.2.1 RCS number. This is because FreeBSD Update mimics "start with the released source code and then apply the patches which are signed by the FreeBSD Security Officer" without a detour through CVS -- that detour through CVS would be impossible, in fact, since we build the binary updates before doing CVS (oops, SVN) commits. 3. If you want to check that you have the latest libpthread.so for FreeBSD 6.3, `sha256 /lib/libpthread.so.2` on an i386 system should print SHA256 (/lib/libpthread.so.2) = ff3fc6111331d5b64f939117daef176cc5c511362786ed6325a2333848e80573 4. If your system claims to be running 6.3-RELEASE-p1 but says that there are no updates needed to update to 6.3-RELEASE-p4, it probably means that you installed the updated kernel which came with 6.3-RELEASE-p4 but you haven't rebooted yet.
