I remember Dimitry Andric reported the same problem on -stable on 30
Dec, and after he reverted rev.1.48.2.16 it worked fine again. Do
you have the symptom even on 6.2-RELEASE? Since RELENG_6_2_0_RELEASE
did not have the change, I thought there was no problem.

I will try to reproduce it on my box anyway...

Yep, even on 6.2-RELEASE. I did a setup with a couple of machines
yesterday (6.2-RC2 and 6.2-RELEASE) that demonstrated the problem.

On my 6-STABLE system (which appears to be working fine), I still have
the change from 1.48.2.16, I only backed out .15 and .14. I didn't try
my diff on the 6.2-RC2 and 6.2-RELEASE machines yet.

Hmmm...I was looking for that bug report before, but I couldn't find it.
It's not clear to me how 1.48.2.16 is involved...hmmm...

Thanks,

Bruce.
