        net/wistumbler says ...

Please take care not to remove the card for the interface you are watching
with wistumbler(1) -- the process will go into a busy loop and consume all
available CPU time.  It can be killed without problems, though.

        This was added in response to a PR I filed in 2003.   At the
        time I also contacted the author of wistumbler.   The bug was
        fixed a day or so later (if that long), and the fixed version
        was in pkgsrc within a week I think...

        That message has been there for the past 30 months or so...
        (needlessly).    (And I have been neglecting to mention it for
        all of that time, apologies.)

>How-To-Repeat:
        By inspection.

>Fix:
        rm ..../pkgsrc/net/wistumbler/MESSAGE
        (followed by cvs commit or whatever...)

>Unformatted:
