Hmmmm! This one doesn't make much sense since make should have simply chdir'd over to /usr/obj/usr/src/share/doc/handbook/ as normal (as it would for any target, much less clean) and then the clean rule should have nuked out all the files. Still, that's two very strange problem reports in 2 days so I'm going to now suspect that something, somewhere is chdir'ing off into space. Give me a day or so to run a bunch of makes here and see if I can't catch something in the act. Despite all the contraversy surrounding them, my changes really are very simple and there just aren't too many ways for them to break as written, so there must be some pathological usage of obj still lurking in the system. I'll hunt it down. Oh yeah, just out of curiousity, is your /usr/src really in /usr or is it symlinked someplace? That would tell me something. Jordan
