I've had it panicking my installation repeatedly; I got the following recently from their (4Front's) tech support: > We've found a major bug in FreeBSD's VM architecture and have sent off > the demo which will crash FreeBSD 3 + Netscape. This is the same problem > affecting OSS and so until we hear from the kernel developers' we're not > going to do any work arounds. If you like, I can send you the test > program. I wrote back asking whether there was an OSS mailing list I could follow so I would know when this problem had been addressed, but I still haven't heard back; I also haven't seen any discussion of it on this list or in any of the archives (or if I have, I haven't been watching closely enough). So, where (if anywhere) would this discussion be going on? What options do I have for finding out when I can use sound again? :) Thanks in advance for any input-- Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
