From: Matt Dillon To: David Greenman Cc: Studded , freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: kern/5641: running processes at the IDLE priority (idprio) can crash the kernel Date: Sun, 22 Mar 1998 21:50:31 -0800 (PST) :> Yes, presuming it was fixed and we aren't talking about the root-only :> hack (where the idprio binary was made executable only by root, or :> something like that). : : The problem has NOT been fixed. It will require scheduler changes at the :very least. : :-DG : :David Greenman :Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project ok, got the update emails... looks all ok, you are leaving one open until the scheduler bug is fixed, great! (this was a relatively minor bug once we found it and stopped using idprio, so it isn't a big deal to us). -Matt Matthew Dillon Engineering, BEST Internet Communications, Inc.
