Got it, updated via CVS again, & I'm watching "make build" thoroughly 
trounce my scrollback buffer as I write. Happy, happy, joy, joy!

One last question, or series of questions: the CVS updated source 
claims to contain all of the patches from errata, so the BIND patch 
should be in there. The Patch Branches page instructions end at "make 
build". It seems to me that I should reboot (or HUP _everything_) 
after "make build" in order to begin running the new BIND & other 
binaries. Is this the case, or am I failing to grasp yet another 
basic concept here?

Thanks,
