Thats why is called -current... i'm supprised that its such a neat bit of nearly-always-compiling-code! I started going through the source from the VM system, and seeing the differences to the 2.1.5-stable VM system, and there's a massive stack of changes. The design and imp. 4.4 BSD book makes good reading, and if you ever get the itch you could write a little bit for the handbook (the freebsd internals) section about the new vm system. It would be great reading IMHO. > Good Luck, (and wish me some also :-)). Keep up the good work!
