Fair point - I overlooked this, and will fix it (I've been using the `extract' command for everything in my tests). But it looks like I'm backing out of 1.1.5 anyway. My machine never panicked under 1.1R, and it panics every time it touches swap space now (`page fault in supervisor mode'). And for some reason getty thinks my console is `ansi' (/etc/ttys still says cons25). The `stty -f /dev/ttyXX clocal' workaround no longer works, either. Sigh. All this is very strange, as many folks have been running what is effectively 1.1.5 for some time since it was simply a packaging of FreeBSD-current. I've been running both for quite some time now and don't have ANY problems with swapping, as is the case with a number of other people. I'm not saying it's all in your head, but it would help if you could provide a bit more detail (and try not to be so confrontational, this IS free software after all and we're simply doing the best we can - we can't do better if people don't give us the information we need to fix things [as you did above with the EXTRACT problem, which I will now fix!]).
