It sounds like it's a regression of some kind, since your original mail stated this problem has been happening for you on RELENG_8 (8.x) for quite some time. (I have to assume it didn't happen for you at all on 7.3 or prior). Would it be possible for you to dedicate some time narrowing down when the problem was introduced? A good starting point might be to try 8.0-RELEASE and then 8.1-RELEASE (just download + burn + boot livefs images and try that). If it happens on 8.1-RELEASE but not 8.0, then we've at least narrowed down the timeframe. It might also be worth trying the same with 7.3-RELEASE vs. 7.4-BETA1 (which just came out) see if the same bug was introduced there as result of an MFC. Otherwise, numerous csups with different date= strings in your supfiles and multiple buildworld/kernel/installs would be required. I would probably pick intervals of 4 months at first. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
