I have done two different hacks for this: one is to increment a counter and print the message, along with the count, every 100-1000-whatever times. The other hack I did was to use a flag and print the message the first time only. I'm not aware of any problems associated with the message, but this may be only because, not knowing the exact cause of the message, I do not know where to look. -Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
