Well, I've compiled with 4.9-RELEASE binaries and 4.9-STABLE (12/24/03) binaries and had no observable effects. Likewise, the symptoms were first noticed when the world and kernel were the same. They have repeted themselves within every combination that I've tried. FWIW, I tried rm -rf /usr/obj and recompile, but that didn't improve things. I also tried mv /usr/src /usr/src.old and then re-cvsup and recompile. That didn't help, either. Jaime
