Sorry, it was not my intention to stress you you seem to be the only
person actively working with GNU/Hurd. I really appreciate your help and
support, thank you very much!

Does this not only give you the source of the latest released version? I
was referring to the git,hg or whatever archive where the latest sources
are checked in.

Thanks, I tried the updated libc and pfinet and my built dhcp-client on
another computer and things seem to work!! :-) I'm not sure if it works
though: Commenting out eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces and rebooting
still gives a working network!? Where is the network defined and set up
on the Hurd?? 

I think the problems on the other computer (build box) is related to the
filesystem corruption.

I'll send my patches as a bug report to Debian in a few days.
