For the past hour or so I've been trying to compile a new kernel, and
have been hitting the following failure:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
xdsl014% pwd
/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/JEHOX
xdsl014% make
making sure the compat library is up to date...
make: don't know how to make ../../../../../../sysvnode_if.h. Stop
*** Error code 2

Stop.
xdsl014% 
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fils sysvnode_if.h didn't appear to exist on my system (stock
NetBSD 1.4.1). 

So I downloaded
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.4.1/source/sets/syssrc.tgz
again in the hopes that maybe there'd been a disk error on my machine, 
and I just needed to untar the source again.  But check this out:


xdsl014% cksum syssrc.tgz 
3597760481 14234946 syssrc.tgz

xdsl014% cat CKSUM | grep syssrc 
2174563477 14234946 syssrc.tgz

Since the cksum looked a bit fishy, I downloaded the file again, with
this result:

xdsl014% cksum syssrc.tgz
978621867 14234946 syssrc.tgz

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any reason why I'd be able
to download this file twice, receive a file of the correct size, but
each time with a different and incorrect cksum?

Thanks for any help.
