Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG After reading Scott Long's recent post I tried removing INET6 from my kernel config and the crashes due to mozilla are now definitely gone. The question remains, I suppose, whether there are other programs that will still trigger the same kernel bug in a different way, or whether the bug truly is in the INET6 code. I do know I was never trying to connect to any ipv6 site during the crashes, which seems a bit suspicious. If Seigo Tanimura's recent swapping patch also fixes the crashing (I haven't yet tried it) then perhaps the INET6 thing is just a red herring--but for now it seems okay to me.
