The FreeBSD 8.3 release is not affected by this. After that release and before the FreeBSD 8.4 release there's a window of about 6 months where the bug exists. Your system is dated within that window so yes it is affected, but updating it to FreeBSD 8.4 or latest 8-stable should fix it. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
