the key word is "should" which presumes (assumption is
cockup's mother) that all files have the proper includes
defined in the order of latest and greatest first so the
system files are irrelevant. Now, "maybe" things are
more perfect that they were...

I could probably pull it from the DVD archive, but I
decided to run the Friday total new cvsup at 0000 GMT
--the "problem" went away.
I've always thought John's cvsup was infallible, but
it got totally confused about a week ago when a full
pull was done without cleaning out its logfiles.
Just shows that you gotta play by the rules [g] ...
flush one, flush both.
Both buildworld and buildkernel went down without errors
based on a slice from 0000 GMT 11 Oct.
