I was just wondering - seems I recall that one of the last problems in
the signal handling stuff was to correct a problem with setjmp/longjmp
(in the libc code).

Does any one know if the same fix was made in the kernel version?

I know for a fact that both the NCR and SBC SCSI drivers use this in
their interrupt routine - has to do with the way the pseudo-DMA chip's
handshaking works.  And I've had the same problem everyone else seems
to have:  kernel panics, stack trace is different every time, but the
only thing in common is that the panic occurs during heavy disk I/O,
such as during the run of savecore, or the building of kernel databases.
