Blargh. I followed the instructions on <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/stable.html>, but didn't realize that it was going to create a /etc/cvsupfile that had "." for a default tag. Now I get to reset that to "RELENG_3" (which is what I really wanted in the first place), and start all over again. Fortunately ssh 1.2.27 doesn't like 4.0-CURRENT (the assembly tweaks don't apply), and it tipped me off that something strange was going on. Of course, I've now re-learned the lesson for the umpteen-bazillionth time to *never* trust the default configuration files that will be created for you.
