cvsup17.freebsd.org having issues with RELENG_8

[Scott Lambert]

I've been using SUPHOST=cvsup17.freebsd.org on my P3 RELENG_8 box.

World built successfully, in 6 hours. "make buildkernel" kept blowing up
in the if_re driver, 28 minutes in.  When I commented out all references
to "RL_HWREV_8168DP" it broke later in the build.  I blew away /usr/obj
and /usr/src and tried again, same issues.  I did make delete-old
delete-old-lib, just in case.  Blew away /usr/[src|obj].  Same issue.

My other RELENG_8 boxes weren't having this issue, so I was beginning to
suspect hardware.  Finally I tried a different cvsup server and got a
lot of changes from 2009.08.03.  Unfortunately, I didn't use my normal
scripts so didn't get a log of what all it checked out.

Just a heads-up.
