I wasn't sure whether to post here or just file a bug, b= ut=20 under the circumstances I opted for the former. Apologies if it is consider= ed=20 noise. I was reading the exchange here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D469058 Referencing the following patch to Linux; http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/306 The exchange in the Debian bug tracker indicates kfreebsd 6/7 has the same= =20 problem as Linux. Being a kernel issue, that indicates vanilla FreeBSD may= =20 likely be affected. I neither have the setup nor the knowledge to effectively evaluate this=20 myself, but felt that it was obscure/diagnostically difficult enough that i= =20 wanted to bring it to somebody's attention. =2D-=20 / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller ' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org --nextPart1813524.mtosFE0k8S Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBH3AzEDNor2+l1i30RAiCTAJ9p2/2G5aXPjJWHQE6GAcGa57mDgQCgoh1X ZBH3oMkYMjPjL/OYQZgWwgI= =UrtT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1813524.mtosFE0k8S--
