You know, "among all these `stream.c' Emails," I don't believe that I've
seen a single one that was worth being called a `bug report,' at all.
Unless I missed something after having adapted to the volume of
`stream.c' related junk by systematically deleting them, I don't believe
that I've seen any _detailed_ problem analysis, rather various
hypothesizing about nothing and everything all at once.
As for the mbuf issue, 4.0-RELEASE will include a less-fatal way of
dealing with a shortage. Although, I'm not exactly sure of _what_
instance of shortage you (or whoever had posted that comment originally)
is dealing with. Can you point me to the reasonably-detailed stream.c
related Email to which you're referring to above?
