FreeBSD-5.2-RC1

[Tom Cage]

Scott,

    I have downloaded and installed FreeBSD-5.2-CURRENT and find that
everything
work correctly with one exception, ecm-5.0.1.  This same problem occurs on 3
different computers.

    Using gcc-3.3-CURRENT, the following occurs:

GMP-ECM 5.0.1 [powered by GMP 4.1.2] [P-1]    (FreeBSD 5-CURRENT)

    Note that Slackware 9.1 and RedHat 9.0 work correctly well beyond this
point on the same computer.

    The only other thing of note is that KStars does not install in KDE when
doing a clean install with FreeBSD-5.2.RC1.
