This is not the first time the need for proper refcount "interface" arises, or at least the discussion of the need for it, and I would say that it is better to do this now than later. Clearly, the ref. count code in mbuf.h is suffering from a pretty nasty race. Even if we use the particularities of the mbuf cluster referencing system to fix it one way now, we're bound to encounter similar problems sooner or later. > thanks, > -- > -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] > "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
