I tried that, and got something I've never seen before.

I used the 9.1 CD I made and booted into single-user mode. Then:

# pwd
# /
# cd lib
# ls -l libc.so.12.*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel       14 Oct 18 19:24 libc.so.12 -> libc.so.12.213
-r--r--r   1 root wheel  2079984 Oct 18 19:24 libc.so.12.213

That's the part I meant when I said I'd never seen it before, 
that '.213' at the end of the library's name

I don't see a path to installing current on a broken system. The 
download options for current all seem to be in terms of source 
only. I'm not complaining, just trying to understand.

Thank you
