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.

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
