i think I've read abt this long time ago.. but not pretty sure ( someone correct me if I'm wrong ).. u can try: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_5_RELEASE anyway i never tried this! and i never encounter the prob u'va said since 4.x ---> 6.1 ( and I'm normally/mostly using -pX than STABLE for my prod server ). Seems your method/tag tag=RELENG_5_5 is correct way to patch to -pX, i can't find any reason why your system "patched" into STABLE... could u please copy+paste here your stable-supfile config?
