I've decided to not attack the problem head on, because we don't have time to fix the infrastructure for it (we need to unwind to recreate the context). Instead, I hope to hack-up a workable solution from an ABI breaking change. The ABI breaker allows us to have lightweight syscalls, which we permanently want. So, doing that now is very attractive. The intend is to implement the *context syscalls as lightweight syscalls in a very hackish way. This serves as an experiment as well as solving an immediate problem. Let's hope it works out... -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
