>Description:
	When compiled (or installed, or whatever, this is not important)
	net/wistumbler says ...

Please take care not to remove the card for the interface you are watching
with wistumbler(1) -- the process will go into a busy loop and consume all
available CPU time.  It can be killed without problems, though.

	This was added in response to a PR I filed in 2003.   At the
	time I also contacted the author of wistumbler.   The bug was
	fixed a day or so later (if that long), and the fixed version
	was in pkgsrc within a week I think...

	That message has been there for the past 30 months or so...
	(needlessly).    (And I have been neglecting to mention it for
	all of that time, apologies.)

>How-To-Repeat:
	By inspection.

	rm ..../pkgsrc/net/wistumbler/MESSAGE
