... found the problem:
Basically, the update to 6.0C on the VAX caused rc.conf to be edited in
the same way twice as it was during the 6.0B update. The changes made
to rc.conf in each of these updates were:
1) remove some obsolete entries
2) add some new entries
Even if you update from 6.0A or earlier, this would occur, because both
the 6.0B and 6.0C version specific update scripts would be executed.
Now that the explanation for the bug exists, now comes the fun part of
fixing it. <sigh>
