I think I explained this in a prior posting to this list, but what
happened was that the $FreeBSD$ CVS keywords didn't get expanded the
first time we tried to build a release.  mergemaster hates this, as
the original poster discovered.  For this and other reasons, we
considered this a showstopper and rebuilt the release; when we did, we
also needed to modify one file and slide its CVS tag.

Users updating from sources (e.g. using cvsup or anon CVS) were
probably not affected by this.

And in my reply to you, I mentioned that I had already put the contents
of CHECKSUM.MD5 (for the i386 ISO images anyways) in the 4.8 errata
file, which is on the Web site.  :-)

Cheers,
