Hmmmm I thought I'd reply before the main release engineers experience
a nervous breakdown reading this !
The bug has been discovered AFTER the release, and although the fix
seems fairly simple, rebuilding the whole thing, integrating a couple
more critical fixes, re-double-checking for new problems, creating the
CDROM master trees etc. is a VERY time and resource-consuming task.
Despite the huge efforts made by the nice guys who bring FreeBSD to us
(a BIG hurray to them!) this is going to take some time (I wonder if
they sleep sometimes ?).
While I'm eating up net bandwith, I might as well take the opportunity
to say a big THANK YOU to all the volunteers and congratulate them for
the wonderful O/S they provide us for free. FreeBSD runs on my desktop
PC at work, I would love to have my organization contribute in one way
or another to the FreeBSD team, but since it's a government lab this
seems rather difficult. In any case, if either of the FreeBSD core
team members happens to come to Paris some day, please drop me a line !
I owe you a tour and a dinner, guys (if you can stand my
european-style car and driving of course ;-)

I've RTFMed. It says: "Refer to your system administrator"
But... I *am* the system administrator :-]
