Thanks Stuart! As usual you are above and beyond when it comes to
helping people in OpenBSD community. 

I think I know what happened. I got a ports tree one week too late to be
as close to release as I wanted. I picked that Ruby hiccup in collectd
from early August. 

Anyhow last time I did this for 5.5 release my end of February snapshot
is still running on half a dozen machines (207 days uptime and counting
:)).

Most Kind Regards,
Predrag
