      that may already have been found and fixed.</para>

    <para>Any version of this errata document actually distributed
      with the release (for example, on a CDROM distribution) will be

	<para>&os;/&arch.i386; &release.prev; running as a guest
	  operating system on <application>VirtualBox</application>
	  can have a problem with disk I/O access.  It depends on some
	  specific hardware configuration and does not depend on a
	  specific version of <application>VirtualBox</application> or
	  host operating system.</para>

	<para>It causes various errors and makes &os; quite unstable.
	  Although the cause is still unclear, disabling unmapped I/O
	  works as a workaround.  To disable it, choose <literal>Escape to
	    loader prompt</literal> in the boot menu and enter the following
	  lines from &man.loader.8; prompt, after
	  an <literal>OK</literal>:</para>

	<screen>set vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed=0
boot</screen>

	<para>Note that the following line has to be added to
	  <filename>/boot/loader.conf</filename> after a boot.
          It disables unmapped I/O at every boot:</para>

	<programlisting>vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed=0</programlisting>

	<para>[2014-04-03 update]  It has been reported that
	  instability may be present on virtual machines running
	  on other hypervisors, such as Xen or KVM.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
	<para>A bug in <application>Heimdal</application> (an
	  implementation of <application>Kerberos</application>
	  authentication in &os; base system) has been fixed.  It
	  could cause an interoperability issue between
	  <application>Heimdal</application> and the other
	  implementations including <application>MIT
	  Kerberos</application>.  However, due to this fix,
	  <application>Heimdal</application> and some applications
	  which depend on it in the previous &os; releases do not work
	  with one in &release.prev; in certain cases.  Errata Notice
	  for the supported releases to fix it will be
	  released.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
	<para>A bug in &man.killall.1; has been discovered.  It
	  makes <userinput>killall -INT</userinput> to deliver
	  <literal>SIGTERM</literal> rather than the desired
	  <literal>SIGINT</literal>, and may cause blocking
	  behavior for scripts that uses it, as <literal>-I</literal>
	  means <quote>interactive</quote>.  A workaround of this
	  would be to use <literal>-SIGINT</literal> instead.
	  This bug has been fixed on &os;-CURRENT and will be fixed
	  in &os; &release.current;.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
	<para>The &man.bxe.4; driver can cause packet corruption when
	  TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload) feature is enabled.  This
	  feature is enabled by default and can be disabled by using a
	  <option>-tso</option> parameter of &man.ifconfig.8;.  It can
	  be specified in &man.rc.conf.5; like the following:</para>

	<programlisting>ifconfig_bxe0="DHCP -tso"</programlisting>

	<para>This bug has been fixed on &os; &release.current;.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
	<para>Due to a minor incompatibility with &man.pkg.7; version
	  <literal>1.2.x</literal>, &man.bsdconfig.8; will duplicate
	  the list of available packages for installation.  This is
	  due to the <literal>PACKAGESITE</literal> environment
	  variable being set for backwards compatibility with older
	  versions of &man.pkg.7;.  This affects generation of the
	  available package list only, and does not affect the
	  behavior when processing packages for installation.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
	<para>A regression in &man.pw.8; does not remove a user from
	  groups not specified in the provided group list when the
	  <literal>-G</literal> flag is used.  This is expected to be
	  corrected in &os;-CURRENT and &os; &release.current;.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
	<para>&man.ipfw.8; <literal>fwd</literal> action can send
	  packets to the correct interface with a wrong link-layer
	  address when the route is updated.  This bug has been fixed
	  on &os;-CURRENT and will be fixed in &os;
	  &release.current;.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
	<para>The &man.mount.udf.8; utility has a bug which prevents
	  it from mounting any UDF file system.  This has been fixed
  	  in &os;-CURRENT and &os; &release.current;.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
	<para>Updating LSI firmware on &man.mps.4; controllers with
	  the <application>sas2flash</application> utility may cause
	  the system to hang, or may cause the sytem to panic.  This
	  is fixed in the <literal>stable/10</literal> branch with
	  revisions <literal>r262553</literal> and
	  <literal>r262575</literal>, and will be included in
	  &os;&nbsp;10.1-RELEASE.</para>
