90: The 2.9 CD cover states that XFree86 3.3.6-current is included. This is only half-true.
1.330 angelos 91: In fact, the XFree86 included for all architectures is 4.0.3. On the i386, the
92: 3.3.6 Xservers have also been included, because 4.0.3 still has weak support for
1.328 deraadt 93: some devices which 3.3.6 supported better.

97: Programs using the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fts&sektion=3&format=html">fts(3)</a>
98: routines (such as rm, find, and most programs that take a <b>-R</b>
99: flag) can be tricked into changing into the wrong directory if the
100: parent dir is changed out from underneath it. This is similar to
101: the old fts bug but happens when popping out of directories, as
102: opposed to descending into them.
