Lines: 17 (followups are going to comp.os.386bsd.misc) Perhaps the cache problems involve cache coherency. I wonder if your motherboard is not handling cache flushes correctly. This would leave bogus entries in the external cache and result in bad code being fed to the processor after context switches. I don't know that much about PC hardware. Perhaps someone else who knows PC hardware better than I can comment. -- #include <std.disclaimer> #define FULL_NAME "Paul Dokas" #define EMAIL "pbd@runyon.cim.cdc.com" /* Just remember, you *WILL* die someday. */
