Hi,

While looking at my /var/log/messages I noticed this:

/netbsd: DANGER WILL ROBINSON: FEN SET IN cpu_fork!

uh?

The code that generated this is in vm_machdep.c:

void cpu_fork( p1, p2)
...
#ifdef DIAGNOSTIC
        if (p1 != curproc)
                panic("cpu_fork: curproc");
        if ((up->u_pcb.pcb_hw.apcb_flags & ALPHA_PCB_FLAGS_FEN) != 0)
                printf("DANGER WILL ROBINSON: FEN SET IN cpu_fork!\n");
#endif

ok, now, what does that mean? 8-O

The machine is a DEC AlphaServer 400 4/166 running 1.3.1 kernel. 

Thanks.
