 Booting the same server with 8.1 RELEASE does not show the reported
 problem, everything is ok.
 I agree with your '6 is near end of life' argument, but 6 STABLE should
 remain stable. Another example is SVN rev 210932: The update of
 busdma_machdep.c from 1.74.2.6 to 1.74.2.7 breaks in RELENG_6 the
 (probably buggy) de interface driver: Outgoing TCP messages not fitting
 in one packet do not work anymore.
 
 Thanks
