Hi Stuart,

sorry for replying late - I was off for a long weekend.

To answer your question - no, there have been no changes at all. It is the 
network in my home office so I know for shure.

Last night I reinstalled the laptop from the latest snapshots (#394) and to 
rule out some kind of 'hickup' of the cable-modem, the router or the switches I 
power-cycled every instance. Even though I didn't see the error message 
originally reported I still was not able to get the source-tree by cvs: After a 
few seconds the system looses its network, entirely. A non-technical 
description of the impression I got is "the system can't take the load by the 
sheer number of files received". (Of course I know this is not what a bug 
report should sound like... ;-) ) Calling 'netstat' or 'route' shows ... 
nothing! Both report the lack of any routes. This only happens with cvs, not 
with 'pkg_add'! The system won't reattach to the network by '/etc/netstart', I 
have to reboot to get the routes back up.

As others have reported issues with dhclient recently a first 'shot in the 
dark' would be that this is where a suspect is living...

I am not shure what to report exactly tonight as I am off from home in a boring 
hotel room. E.g. if the routes are lost again: What should I report?

Any hints?

Thank you!

STEFAN
