The last problem I was having was with the user_ldt being restored on context switches. AFAIK John never built in the patches I sent him. He was always preoccupied with the "next greatest improvement". I ended up side-lining the work in favour of doing work on the Alpha port. I'd suggest that it is too close to the release of 3.0 to try to get that stuff in, except possibly for the syscalls. It is better to get 3.0 to a stable state to limit the flak from people who don't (won't) understand why 2.2.8 will come out after 3.0. The release of 3.0 is due in about 9 weeks IIRC. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
