Description Glen Foster 1997-10-02 14:20:00 UTC 
	The xtend man page describes a command "dump" to the xtend
	daemon.  As shipped, xtend tries to write the dump file to
	an inappropriate location, one where it has no write permission
	and is not logically tied to the program.

Fix: Apply the patch:
How-To-Repeat: 
	Compile a kernel with the tw0 device, set xtend_enable="YES" in 
	/etc/rc.conf.  Run "xten -" and issue the command "dump" to the
	xtend daemon.  Rather than writing a status.out file in 
	/var/spool/xten/, the command will generate an error.
