Err, Michael, from your description of what happened, it seems rather that you issued commands that resulted in the trashing. So, it was rather a lack of banisters than a bug in the software. That's a rather different case, imho. -- Daniel C. Sobral (8-DCS) dcs@newsguy.com dcs@freebsd.org "Thus, over the years my wife and I have physically diverged. While I have zoomed toward a crusty middle-age, she has instead clung doggedly to the sweet bloom of youth. Naturally I think this unfair. Yet, if it was the other way around, I confess I wouldn't be happy either." To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
