    BETA6 still has some critical and/or serious bugs open apparently
    (according to the PR data base):

    1. /bin/sh "unset" is still in violation of IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004
       edition. FIX IS AVAILABLE, bug has been open for many months, has
       persisted in BETA4 and 5.

       http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-September/037819.html

    2. tcpdump IPv6CP segfaults are still open as of BETA5, FIX IS AVAILABLE:
       http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/71453

    3. data corruption on unaligned block access bug, kern/60313,
       is still open and unpatched AFAICS

    4. NIS is still faulty in pretending users aren't there when in fact NIS
       cannot tell if an account exists; bin/46866 is still open and unpatched

    5. default inetd configuration denial of service bug, conf/33670, is still
       open and unpatched AND A LAST CHANCE TO FIX NOW

    6. (portsmgr issue) no "yes or no" or whatsoever for my inquires whether
       ports/72017 can be committed in spite of the freeze. It's a
       bugfix-only update.

    Please state which of these will be fixed before 5.3-RELEASE and what
    further help is needed with these.
