It took two weeks to fix this problem, and therefore I do have a few
questions.
The error turned out to be in err.h. The file located in /usr/include was
totally different from the one located in /usr/src/include.

My question is: I deleted /usr/src, and I cvsup'ed everything. When
I do a make
buildworld, why does not the new err.h get copied from /usr/src/include to
/usr/include? This would have solved my problem two weeks ago :)
build = recompile things
install = put them where they belong in the filesystem
buildworld doesn't install the file because it's not supposed to.
Does err.h get copied only when you do a make installworld?
I would expect so. Why don't you try it?
Another question, why on earth did I have an old version of err.h? I
was running
5.4 RELEASE, and it was installed from an ISO downloaded at FreeBSD.org
That does not look like an *old* version, it looks like a completely
different file. Did you install anything not from ports that might
have overwritten it? Did you try and install a port into a target
hierarchy that /usr/local? (The same copyright header as the real
5.4 one exists in err.h from 4.11).
Operating system bugs are rare compared to user errors, I'm afraid.

As far as I can remember, I have not installed anything that didn't come from
the ports collection. I have only used the ports, and always installed them to
the default directory.
I did not mean that this was a OS bug, and it would be really strange
if it was
since I can't find any other person that has had the same problem. There must
be an application that overwrote my err.h. I've tried to provoke this error
again, but I can't. I tried to install all the ports on another server
(until i
ran out of space), but the error did not occur. But with that said,
there was 20
ports I didn't have enough space to install, so the problem might lie there.
I might be the problem as well, maybe I did something I shouldn't have
done. But
I can't really see what that should be :) Anyway, the solution is here and I
hope it can help other people that end up with the same problem (if that ever
happens).
