<p>This document lists errata items for FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE, containing significant

information discovered after the release or too late in the release cycle to be otherwise

included in the release documentation. This information includes security advisories, as
|
|
well as news relating to the software or documentation that could affect its operation or

|
usability. An up-to-date version of this document should always be consulted before
|
|
installing this version of FreeBSD.</p>

<p>This errata document for FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE will be maintained until the release of

FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>This errata document contains “late-breaking news” about FreeBSD
|
|
6.3-RELEASE. Before installing this version, it is important to consult this document to
|
|
learn about any post-release discoveries or problems that may already have been found and
|
|
fixed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Any version of this errata document actually distributed with the release (for
|
|
example, on a CDROM distribution) will be out of date by definition, but other copies are
|
|
kept updated on the Internet and should be consulted as the “current errata”
|
|
for this release. These other copies of the errata are located at <a
|
|
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/"
|
|
target="_top">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/</a>, plus any sites which keep up-to-date
|
|
mirrors of this location.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Source and binary snapshots of FreeBSD 6-STABLE also contain up-to-date copies of this
|
|
document (as of the time of the snapshot).</p>

<p>[20080204] The ISO images of FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE are sized for 700MB CD-ROM media (ISO
|
|
images of all prior versions assumed 650MB media). This fact should have been mentioned
|
|
in the release notes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[20080204] Contrary to the release notes, ipfwpcap(8) is <span class="emphasis"><i
|
|
class="EMPHASIS">not</i></span> a feature included in FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE. It was merged
|
|
to the 6-STABLE codeline after the release branch was created. This utility will be
|
|
included in subsequent snapshots of 6-STABLE and in 6.4-RELEASE.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[20080229] The release notes gave an incorrect version number for KDE. The correct
|
|
version number is 3.5.8.</p>

Solutions</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>[20080229] A bug in Linux emulation may cause segmentation faults for some Linux
|
|
programs using <a
|
|
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mmap&sektion=2&manpath=FreeBSD+6.3-stable">
|
|
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">mmap</span>(2)</span></a>. This
|
|
issue has been fixed on the HEAD and RELENG_6 branches.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[20080229, updated 20080420] Multithreaded programs that perform a <a
|
|
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=fork&sektion=2&manpath=FreeBSD+6.3-stable">
|
|
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">fork</span>(2)</span></a>
|
|
operation may crash due to a race condition in the threading library. This problem has
|
|
been fixed on the HEAD, RELENG_6, and RELENG_6_3 branches, and is addressed by errata
|
|
notice <a href="http://security.FreeBSD.org/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-08:01.libpthread.asc"
|
|
target="_top">FreeBSD-EN-08:01.libpthread</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[20080307] When using <a
|
|
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sysinstall&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+6.3-stable">
|
|
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">sysinstall</span>(8)</span></a> to
|
|
install the X.org packages, selecting only specific components to be installed may result
|
|
in the <a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/x11/xorg-drivers/pkg-descr"><tt
|
|
class="FILENAME">x11/xorg-drivers</tt></a> package not being installed, and a
|
|
corresponding failure of X.org server to configure itself correctly. The recommended way
|
|
to a functioning X.org installation is simply to select <span
|
|
class="GUIMENUITEM">All</span> from the Distributions menu.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[20080420] A reference counting bug in the IP multicast code could cause kernel panics
|
|
under some circumstances. It has been fixed on the RELENG_6 branch by revision <tt
|
|
class="LITERAL">1.85.2.10</tt> of <tt class="FILENAME">sys/netinet/in.c</tt>.</p>
