One of the release criteria is that it come into existence. :-) And to be fair, the problem is on sparc64 which is a tier 1 platform but just barely so (pthread support was just finished a few days ago).

This is not an insult to sparc64. -Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
