	I updated again and the problem disappeared, thanks.  I have one 
question, however.  Once the web site, www.netbsd.org, has a security 
advisory posted, along with instructions on how to patch, shouldn't the 
CVS repository contain the correct updated sources?
	I used anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot for $ROOT.  Should I use 
something else for $ROOT in the future?
