It's fine with the 4BSD scheduler but PREEMPTION seems to be causing some problems on a few of my machines. If you give PREEMPTION a try I'd be interested in hearing if it's successful or not. I'm wondering if I'm just "lucky" and it's OK for everyone else or if it's causing other people problems too. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
