    Thanks Kris, J.D.,

    I found the same build problems on 6_0.

    I've subscribed to -current and -stable as I want to better track these
    issues...which brings me to my next question:

    In production (at an ISP), what is the best to follow...RELENGX_X or
    RELENG_X? I have 4.x, 5.x boxes in production, and this 6.x box is being
    prepared for the same.

    Tks :)
