This is a FAQ (do we have a FAQ list to put it on that gets posted here?).
ftp to ftp.bsdi.com, cd to bsdi/patches, get the file README. It lists the
summaries of all patches available for the 2.0x releases of the OS. In par-
ticular, I think you want U200-013. However, you should probably at least
read the descriptions of the others to see if any apply to you.
