This is not good, but it could probably be fixed with a very simple patch to the kernel source code to test for the octave being raised too high. I would write the patch myself, except that I only started using FreeBSD yesterday, and I haven't even had time to finish downloading the bindist yet, much less the kernel sources. -- Matt Bandy (mbandy@superdec.uni.uiuc.edu)
