My concern is that this doesn't help fixsa actually converge. It may be
the right thing to do for a production system, but "it doesn't work"
doesn't help us figure out if we fixed it. :-)
One of the issues I'm running into in fixsa is that I don't have a list of
discrete problems to solve, which makes it difficult to know how things
are going. :-)
I'd like to root-cause this issue more. Jukka, would it be possible to
try the wrstuden-fixsa branch? Right now it's updated to 4.0RC3 I think,
and I want to get it up to release soon. All you need is a new kernel and
a new libpthread.
Take care,
Bill
