Any idea what would cause it to *not* increase? Deleting /usr/obj is the usual cause of that. Ah, yes, that's it. Thank you. As I said... it used to always increment for me. Then stopped at some time when I wasn't paying attention to it. It must've stopped after I added the following to my script (as per 21.4.14.6 of the handbook): # chflags -R noschg /usr/obj/usr # rm -rf /usr/obj/usr # cd /usr/src # make cleandir # make cleandir The handbook says to do the above if things go wrong. I figured I'd be a little more proactive.
