   I was just about to send out an email asking if anyone had seen that -- 
I've seen (in the server logs) a few machines do that, and I have no idea 
why (most machines are updating properly).
   I'll take this to private email, but if anyone else has seen any 
behaviour from FreeBSD Update which looks odd, please contact me.
