We're seeing odd stuff -- program which were working core dumping, crashes with kernel page faults (nothing repeatable), and what looks like VM cache corruption (perhaps in the page area). Ideas? I know that there were VM changes made a week or so ago, but kernels I built *yesterday* are showing these symptoms. There was a change committed to vm/vm_swap.c last night -- what did it address? -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - The Finest Internet Connectivity http://www.mcs.net/~karl | T1's from $600 monthly to FULL DS-3 Service | 23 Analog Prefixes, 13 ISDN, Web servers $75/mo Voice: [+1 312 803-MCS1 x219]| Email to "info@mcs.net" WWW: http://www.mcs.net/ Fax: [+1 312 248-9865] | 2 FULL DS-3 Internet links; 400Mbps B/W Internal
