It works, at least for rudimentary values of "works": a test program
behaves as it should, and the emulator that prompted me to create this
works for small numbers of runs. I haven't constructed a test to
hammer it for millions or billions of calls; there could well be a rare
failure mode, like a race somewhere.
kre, assuming you want it now, how would be most useful to get it to
you? What I have is a commit in my based-at-5.2 src git tree. I can
extract diffs easily, or you can clone the git repo and look at the
commit (git://git.rodents-montreal.org/Mouse/netbsd-fork/5.2/src commit
3bc0da98f79eb0115f5c4992d7b42b6623ae7b78), or if you have something
else to suggest I'm listening.
