I don't find any mechanism like this in FreeBSD. It's like six lines and could have been put just about anywhere in fork1() or vm_fork() where isvfork is tested. Do other BSDs have this structure? Am I missing something, or doesn't anyone (but me) care about this information? 8v) - Mike -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Borowiec All tied to their things, mikebo@MCS.COM they are netted by the strings...
