Yes, -current's move to the more correct ctype macros seems to have
had a more far-reaching effect than the statvfs changes.  I agree that
the best way is to cast the arguments where necessary to unsigned
char.

The comms with the big bad world went down for a while, and that accounted
for some of the fallout here. I am running another build now, taken from
sources earlier on today. That run is now at:

        2004/12/04 20:51:14  2698/5200=51.9% mail/php-imap @ i386> 

so I'd expect to have some results soon after the freeze starts.

I hope there aren't any hardware problems - the disks themselves are in
a RAID 1, and the memory has been stable since I fixed the duff DIMM
earlier on this year (and thanks to memtest for finding that).

Thanks once again for your analyses.
