I was referring to someone coming along saying "I'm running 8.2", which
isn't accurate enough these days.  More specifically, I was referring to
the fact that some people are running RELENG_8 (presently known as
8.2-STABLE), while others are running RELENG_8_2 (presently known as
8.2-RELEASE).  Yes I'm aware of RELENG_8_2_0_RELEASE, but I don't go
that far.  I stick with what shows up in src/examples/cvsup/*-supfile,
and what's listed on the releng/ page:

Let's get back on the subject of the OP's issue please.  :-)
