freebsd stable - Aug 2003 - Stable instability: an update

For those of you only loosely following this list, here's what I just
added to UPDATING:

+20030828:
+	Unfortuntely, the previous entry turned out to be incorrect;
+	the instability has not yet been solved.  If you are running
+	a pre-August 9th kernel, please hold off updating at this
+	time.  Please read the stable@freebsd.org list for up to
+	date information on this issue.  Once a final solution has
+	been committed, this file will be updated.

Tor Egge just posted a patch to this list which seems to solve the
problem, but I think we'll do a little more testing before we declare the
problem fully solved. :)

In the meantime, you may be interested in the cvsup manpage, which
describes how to cvsup to a specific date, such as August 7th.  <g>

Hi,
         When do you think this will be committed ?

I've just cvsup'd sources on a test-bed here and this message still
appears in /usr/src/UPDATING.

Can we in userland expect some statement (via freebsd-announce@, for
instance)  as and when this situation is sufficiently resolved?

Thanks,

Regards,

Stacey
