Oh, I missed the "on 2.2.1" bit. Answer is simple: don't do that. The only scenario I can think of is that you've built 3.0 from source under 2.2.x and then run the 3.0 progs from the obj directories. Again, don't do that. Run 3.0 binaries on a 3.0 system and you'll have a better time of it. Stephen. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
