make buildkernel KERNCONF errors...

[Joe Altman]

In this context, "...committed a fix.." means something like:

"I applied a patch to the root of a CVS source tree, and it will dist
over the next 24-48 hours to all of the relevant CVSUP machines. Try
to upgrade sources at intervals over this time period; if it fails
after this interim, send another heads-up."

I ask because in the three years I've used FreeBSD, I've never seen
this type of failure, so I'm not at all informed WRT the parameters
and such about the fix.

Feel free to redirect to -questions; I only ask here because I'm not
sure if either of the two respondents read -questions.

Thanks for your help, David and David...
