The combination I picked was: SMP instability Matt development and I checked the box for "freebsd-current" and unchecked the one for "freebsd-questions". Then, "Submit Query". If it works for you like it worked for me, you will get a list of at least 25 messages. The top message will (hopefully) be from Matt Dillon. In the listing of matched-messages, it will probably have a somewhat plausible date (I see "-6-2000"). However, look at other messages in the list. There are messages with the exact same subject ("HEADS UP: Destabilization..."), and they are listed has having happened in Sept 1997, May 1998, Mar 1999, and other obviously wrong dates. If you click on one of the messages, the message itself looks fine (ie, there is no reference to the date-listed in the message itself). It looks like that in some cases (all y2k messages?), the message is listed with the date of the previous message in the list. >How-To-Repeat: See above. >Fix: I do not have the slightest idea of where to start looking... I might not mind looking into it, if I knew where to look. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
