I don't remember exactly what the answer was (look in the mail lists archive), but it seems to have something to do with the way the u structure is allocated in the kernel now. David Greenman wamts to make some wide sweeping changes in the kernel so that the u-dot doesn't even exist any longer. That's prob. why no-one has bothered fixing gdb/procfs. --- Gary Jennejohn (work) gjennejohn@frt.dec.com (home) Gary.Jennejohn@munich.netsurf.de (play) gj@freebsd.org
