	I used to run a bunch of port compiles using batch.  Now when
I try this, the jobs disappear from the batch queue without anything 
happening.  Is something disabled?  I of course run the batch files
as superuser so that the port installs work.

	Also, the batch jobs, which work under a user account, don't
seem to send mail as they once did.  I left the machine running overnight,
at I did not get mailed a daily report as the crontab file seems set up
to do.

	2.0.5 is a great improvement!  I used to crash every 20 minutes
under 2.0R, if I was beating up the system.  Congrats to all!

	I am using the 2.0.5R CDROM.

Thanks
