Recently, I got corruptted file when I installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 via FTP.
I do not know if this file is damaged on site, or corruptted during FTP
transfer. I found it because compiling kernel failed. Some thing like this:

> isa/ft.c:831:               ft->lastpos = asyng_ret;
---
< isa/ft.c:831:               ft->lastpos = async_ret;

Does any one know what causes this happened?
