Date: 7 Jul 1993 20:36:54 GMT Organization: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Lines: 12 Distribution: world Message-ID: <21fc56$j65@lll-winken.llnl.gov> Reply-To: runge@physics.llnl.gov (Karl Runge) NNTP-Posting-Host: physics.llnl.gov Hi, in 386BSD 0.1 I found it was possible to crash the machine if I had several programs performing floating point operations running at the same time (in fact I crashed ref.tfs.com once this way! :-o) I believe this is the 386BSD Bug KERN009. Is it fixed in NetBSD 0.8? If not, any rough idea when it will be solved? Thanks, Karl (runge@physics.llnl.gov)
