When you run -CURRENT, you're generally expected to be able to deal with most issues like this yourself, at least in some limited way.... Did you read /src/UPDATING, for starters? Please note: I'm not trying to flame you. But I wonder if you're in over your head. I don't run -CURRENT, myself, but this is the sort of thing that sounds like you did something without meaning to.... Kevin Kinsey
