I think throwing out random guesses is a *much* better solution than what's occurred so far. At least this way folks have a clue about what *might* be going on, and some of the 'random guesses' may trigger someone's mind. This is how *real* companies work on complex problems, and how the state of the art progresses. (Though I'd replace the term 'random' with 'educated', but still leave the term 'guess' in the mix.) The lack of progress on these bugs from the kernel hackers until Terry makes up an 'educated guess' seems to be a good motivator. :) ;) Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
