Kevin / Markus: thanks, it's working like a charm...yay! The full source distribution wasn't installed when the system was put in place, so rather than wait for the entire tree to be downloaded by CVSUp, I used SysInstall to install the 4.6.2-RELEASE source tree, and CVSUpp'ed it to the latest (patched) release version.
