True;-)

I ran into the same problem, and the only way to get sup to update the files 
in question is either to delete them oder touch them into the past.
SUP apparently checks only for date stamps even with old specified.

->Do I have to delete all my src and resup ?
->Or should I delete the last.* or what ?

I would opt for the last one.

Try that, it _should_ work although I havent tried it because of the costs 
involved.  I did a find /usr/src/ -size 2048c -a -type f | xargs rm

That fixed most files, only one in pcvt and math_emulate.c were corrupt but 
not 2048 bytes long.
