Re: Er, don't try this at home

I'm finding the following sequence (NetBSD localhost 1.5Y NetBSD 1.5Y
(NETLUX) #0: Sat Oct 27 21:19:01 EDT 2001):

o       start netscape (from Linux/PPC)
o       try to quit netscape (it doesn't quite quit)
o       kill netscape (using top)

is, er, fatal.  Anyone else see this?  Kernel has: TiG4, reverted wi0,
NEWPMAP but otherwise a very vanilla current kernel.

Ah, one other thing, the option EXEC_ELF_CATCHALL.

I haven't seen this at all on by iBook, and I use Netscape quite a
bit. Ordinairly, I can quit just fine, but when it wedges, I go and
kill it (from the command line, though I really hope that doesn't
matt

Up until last night I'd not seen it either :-( Any way I've reduced the process to:

        ssh -o 'ForwardX11' root@machine
        netscape &
        kill <pid>
        <clunk>

(it works 90%? of the time). This also means that I've eliminated X and top.

enjoy,
Andrew

I'm also using NEWPMAP, and -current, on a system with 384M. The only
obvious difference is G4 vs. G3.
