I created a slow link using kernel pppd at 1200 bps, and couldn't see any problem for: rlogin rlogin rlogin Host A ----> Host B -----------------> Host A -----> Host B FreeBSD FreeBSD slow link FreeBSD FreeBSD The panic may have been caused by the following events: hangup -> revoked pty -> pty's vnodes lose their mount point -> kernel bug for fsync on vnodes with no mount point. FreeBSD returns -1/EIO for reading from revoked ptys instead of the more normal 0/no error. Some broken applications spin reading -1/EIO. This may look like a hang.
