Sender: owner-freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org >Number: 9055 >Category: bin >Synopsis: When used without arguments, ``set'' and ``load'' will crash the bootloader. >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Fri Dec 11 00:50:00 PST 1998 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Jos Backus >Organization: Origin B.V. >Release: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386 >Environment: -current as of yesterday >Description: Boot into the loader and type ``set''. Boom. ``load'' yields ``\'' as output and seems to take a random number of times to crash the environment. A BTX register dump results. (I can stick some debugging printf's in there if that is deemed useful. Looking the set code it seems weird that this happens though.) >How-To-Repeat: Type ``set'' or ``load'' a few times at the loader's command prompt. >Fix: Don't do that :-) >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
