Hi, all.

Reading the 4.8 list and I don't understand exactly what a lot of these are
trying to say ... maybe a search-and-replace gone wrong?

Prevented pkg_add(1) update to silently ignore a pkgpath problem.
-- ?

Prevented midi devices from attaching as uaudio(4) that could lead to leave a
phantom uaudio(4).
-- Prevented MIDI devices from attaching as uaudio(4) as that could lead to a
phantom uaudio(4). (?)

Prevented smtpd(8) to exit on a fatal error when it permanently fails a bounce
delivery.

Prevented a .Nm block to get a special handling as in the SYNOPSIS when being
used as a normal in line element.

Prevented iwn(4) to timeout when stopping DMA channels.

Prevented MetaGeek Wi-Spy 2.4i to attach to uhid(4).
-- Prevented MetaGeek Wi-Spy 2.4i from attaching to uhid(4).

Prevented ioprbs(4) to always report success on read/write requests even if
they failed or only partially completed.

Prevented OpenCVS to silently overwrite untracked local files with newly-added
repository files.

Prevented clients to hang on ldapd(8) by retrying requests when the B-Tree is
busy.

Prevented fsck_ffs(8) to crash by using correct types for block numbers, those
can grow big on very large filesystems.

Prevented devices without read or write functionality to return ENODEV to the
poll.

Moved crypto(4) pool initialization to init_crypto and removed the
crypto_pool_initialized variable. This prevents crypto_getreq() to check if
the pool is initialized each time its called.
-- This prevents crypto_getreq() from checking if the pool is initialized each
time it's called.

Prevented ldapctl(8) to segfault if ``ldapctl stats'' is run when a database
is being reopened due to compaction.

Prevented statistics loss is ldapd(8).
-- Should be "in"

Prevented a thread kill(2) to send the signal to a separate process.

Prevented disklabel(8) editor to crash when pressing ^D.
-- Prevent disklabel(8) editor crashing when ^D pressed.

Prevented to hang on resume with the amd64 and i386 platform in the
inter-processor interrupt handlers.

Prevented sd(4) to sleep while dumping.

Prevented fsck_ffs(8) to fail when used with disklabel UIDs.

Fixed a bug which prevented diskless station to boot (PR6382).
-- Fixed a bug which prevented diskless stations from booting (PR6382).

Fixed a NULL dereferencement on zombies processes.

-- Should be something like another line "Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in
sd(4)." - so dereference?  Maybe "Fixed a NULL dereference on a zombie's
processes."

Thanks.
