Hey everyone, Do you think this is because he was running an older very of mergemaster? Perhaps it was necessary to run the recently built mergemaster. Afterall, mergemaster -p is run *before* make installworld and is thus an older version. Whereas, when running mergemaster after make installworld, the newer version is being used. Perhaps we should document that when you use mergemaster -p, it's probably safer to use the full path to the recently built mergemaster. -jj -- Users of C++ should consider hanging themselves rather than shooting their legs off--it's best not to use C++ simply as a better C.
