Doug,

I am aware of that and already rebuilt most of the ports (they were
pretty old anyway) but this is just a minor glitch I'm sure other people
have and will run into.

I frequently used the compat4x and compat5x ports to band-aid major
version upgrades, so the service downtime is minimized. Just wanted to
point out that something is fishy with the rcorder of the compat
scripts.

Which is worse: ignorance or apathy?
Don't know. Don't care.
