Re: kern/51654 (wrong ps_strings breaks emacs20)



Synopsis: wrong ps_strings breaks emacs20

State-Changed-From-To: closed->open
State-Changed-By: dholland%NetBSD.org@localhost
State-Changed-When: Sat, 26 Nov 2016 06:49:46 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
on reflection, let's keep this open until we understand the mechanism.

Also, it seems that the reason old binaries broke is that a few days ago
maxv unilaterally changed the stack top address:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes-d/2016/11/24/msg008895.html

presumably via the same mechanism that somehow causes dumping to bake the
ps_strings value into crt0 or libc when it should be getting passed through
from the kernel.
