I remember seeing some places in the code where callers with M_WAIT automatically assumed that they would be getting an mbuf, which probably has to do with the old behavior of mbufs being allocated with malloc(). I think green mentionned this to me, although I remember fixing a few of them with the initial 4.x patch. -- Bosko Milekic bmilekic@technokratis.com WWW: http://www.technokratis.com/ Voice/Mobile: 514.865.7738 * Pager: 514.921.0237 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
