hi,

in kthread_exit, you said:

1.1          (thorpej  11-Nov-98):      /*
1.1          (thorpej  11-Nov-98):       * XXX Fool the compiler.  Making exit1() __noreturn__ is a can
1.1          (thorpej  11-Nov-98):       * XXX of worms right now.
1.1          (thorpej  11-Nov-98):       */
1.1          (thorpej  11-Nov-98):      for (;;);

why was (is?) it "a can of worms"?
