I don't know if this is realated, but about a week ago there were a few
messages about a bug in -current wrt Samba 2.0.6. See:

   http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2000/01/26/0003.html

and other messages with the same subject in:

   http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2000/01/

All of this doesn't bode well for me - Samba is one of the "very essential"
packages on my NetBSD box, and I've been wanting to upgrade from 2.0.3 to
something newer to see if it gets rid of all these problems I'm having with
files getting out of sync in MSVC++. But I can't upgrade to 2.0.6 according
to the previous emails, and now you're saying it's dangerous for me to
build a new kernel. Ouch!!
