1.257 deraadt 324: <li><font color=#009000><strong>020: KERNEL BUG: July 10, 2000</strong></font><br>
325: As originally shipped, the pmax port would fail to install due to
1.259 deraadt 326: <b>/kern/msgbuf</b> bugs.<br>
327: The neccessary fixes have been merged,
328: and the binaries needed re-released on the FTP site.<br>
329: However, the 2.7 <b>srcsys.tar.gz</b> file has not been updated.<br>
1.257 deraadt 330: If you recompile a kernel, you should use either the
331: <a href=stable.html>stable release source tree</a> or apply the
332: provided patch to a 2.7 source tree.
333: <br>
334: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.7/pmax/020_pmax_msgbuf.patch>
335: A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a>
