Mahol in 2009 (I've sent Paul's email address privately to Adrian). Almost every change in this project was made by Paul. My part is small - I've just discovered and fixed several panic/problems. I've tried to submit my changes back to FreeBSD base tree via problem reports: One was commited: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/165630 Another one is hanging without feedback: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/165622 Few more fixes are depend on kern/165622. I have not created more PRs as without fix for panic described in 165622 new reports would be like: "I'm running something different than FreeBSD sources and it panics. And I have a fix for it. But you won't be able to reproduce and/or test it on your machine." I bet there are not much people who would like to spend their time on reports like this :) On Fri, Jan 24, 2014 at 3:59 PM, Adrian Chadd wrote: > ... who's the author of this?
