peter 97/05/07 13:32:42 Modified: sys/i386/i386 mem.c Log: Don't allow access to illegal addresses in /dev/kmem to panic kernel (eg: above 0xffc00000). Programs using /dev/kmem are implicitly racing the kernel, and can get right up high in memory. I've been running these for some time now, but with printfs. It's saved two panics at least that I can remember. Revision Changes Path 1.44 +7 -2 src/sys/i386/i386/mem.c
