Its the same box I use for I wonder if it can be related to the nfs changes. I also had those nfs changes in my tree previously, but most of them rejected (i.e. a -R wouldn't clean it up) so there must be further or slightly different changes in mainline pre6 compared to 21rc8aa1. It could be only an editing thing though. It would be very interesting if you could still reproduce w/o nfs (for example replacing the nfs transfers temporarily with an rsync, that would reduce the scope of the problem a lot). Andrea
