I forgot to mention it in my previous mail. It seems it is, that's why I send my report to the hackers list, and didn't send any 'real' bug report. The kern/9218 decribes a bug in the {0,3} (sysctl_sysctl_name2oid()). The crash I experienced was probably in sysctl_sysctl_name(). In fact, the bug may not be located in those functions, but (perhaps) in an upper level function (like sysctl_root() or userland_sysctl()). Reading the code does not help me to find the bug. -> ->Kris -> ->----- ->(ASP) Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) announced today that the release of its ->productivity suite, Office 2000, will be delayed until the first quarter ->of 1901. -> -- ____________________________________________________________________ Emmanuel DELOGET [pixel] pixel@{dotcom.fr,epita.fr} ---- DotCom SA Windows 2000 is a trademark of...
