svscanboot core dumps on 4.3

[Peter Hessler]

Its stongly recommended that you use bsd.rd, and choose "Upgrade",
rather than untaring the files manually.  That'll handle much of the
magic for you.  Additionally, 4.4 is out and has many improvements over
4.3.  One nice tool is 'sysmerge'', which will handle updating your
config files.

Have you tried rebuilding the djb binaries?

:Today I updated 4.2 to 4.3 (details below).  I'm using djb's 
:daemontools which I start from rc.local with the command 
:'/command/svscanboot &'.  The problem is that, rebooting after the 
:update, svscanboot dumps core (the coredump is at 
:http://visca.com/svscan.core.txt).  My dmesg is at 
:http://visca.com/dmesg.txt.

:Any help would be appreciated.

Q:  How many right-to-lifers does it take to change a light bulb?
A:  Two.  One to screw it in and one to say that light started when the
    screwing began.
