>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.6-STABLE i386
>Environment:

	2.2-stable as of May 29th, 1998

>Description:

	/usr/src/sys/i386/config/LINT contains the option FDSEEKWAIT -
this option isn't present anywhere else in the source.  Sound's like
just a cosmetic bug but might fool some people needing such an option
into thinking it will work.  Of course it can't.  :-(

	Just for the record:  Someone else mentioned it on the hackers
mailing list.  As I didn't find a problem report about LINT for this I
just filed this one.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Read the source and watch out for FDSEEKWAIT.  Exactly two
occurences - one in a comment, the other one the option itself.

>Fix:
	
	Remove the line with FDSEEKWAIT and its comment in LINT.
That's it.
