Hi, I upgraded my kernel & world from cvs2.freebsd.org (time stamp about June 9th 8:00 UTC). After that, the browsers mozilla and opera hang when looking up hostnames (but konqueror worked fine, strange, isn't it?). I booted up with kernel.old, to no avail. So I concluded the problem is in the the world upgrade. With up- and downgrading, I narrowed down the offending commit to CVS: Establishing multiplexed-mode data connection Running Updating collection src-all/cvs Edit src/bin/ps/ps.c Add delta 1.30.2.15 2004.06.08.00.11.26 gad Edit src/lib/libc/stdio/fclose.c Add delta 1.8.2.1 2004.06.08.13.15.01 hmp Edit src/sys/net/bpf.h Add delta 1.21.2.5 2004.06.08.21.16.42 dwmalone Shutting down connection to server Finished successfully Does anyone have an idea what is the connection between my mozilla/opera's behaviour and these commits? Is this a bug in Stable? Regards, Rob.

It seems reverting revision 1.8.2.1 of src/lib/libc/stdio/fclose.c should
band-aid the problem:
marck@woozle:/usr/src/lib/libc/stdio> cvs diff fclose.c
