EFAULTs are being reported regularly (though not quite consistently) by vi; by ftp; and (most reproducibly: about 4 times out of 5) by sendmail when invoked by procmail: sendmail[999]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): getrequests: accept: Bad address The problem appears worse when the system is under load (eg. vi suddenly crashed just now when the `daily' script started). Prior to installing 2.2-ALPHA, the system has run 2.0-RELEASE through 2.1.5-RELEASE flawlessly. -- Robert Nordier
