I did this by copying the kthread_create() funtion from CURRENT over to FreeBSD 3.3-Release. Is there a way to remove the zombie threads after they die or prevent them from creating? Any potential problems in trying to do this? Any help is appreciated. -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
