If you have a singly replicated server, that bug was identified several
months ago.

http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/maillists/codalist/codalist-2003/4837.html

But the 'quickfix' in that email actually doesn't work right. The real
fix was committed to CVS not long after, and was released with
Coda-6.0.0, which actually miscompiled with several compilers, such as
the default gcc compiler on FreeBSD 4.8.

The compiler issue was fixed in Coda-6.0.1, so you could use that to
build a server with the fixes that make reintegration to singly
replicated volumes more reliable.

If you want to use a Coda-6.0 client, some futher issues were found
after 6.0.1 was released, so for a FreeBSD 4.8 client you would probably
want to build from CVS.

    ln -s /var/tmp/jaharkes/procmaillog /coda/usr/jaharkes/.procmaillog

My /var/tmp directories aren't cleaned out during reboot, so they are
useful for semi-longterm storage of things I never look at anyways ;)
