Heh, simple is relative :) But it doesn't look that bad -- thanks for the information. I'll likely need this at some point. Unfortunately I did not have the luxury to embroil myself in debug hell with this problem since this is my mail/web machine and others depend on it. I can tolerate some downtime, but this was just getting to be too much. I just backed up the system, and installled FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE from scratch and most things are back up and running after a night until 3am. Yuck, I don't ever want to have to deal with something like this again. Hopefully after I get brave enough I /might/ entertain jumping onto a STABLE branch again...
