It does at least in UMA; it does a lot of bzero()/NULL'ing out of memory, which might hide later uninitialized-use bugs that could bite you without it (and, of course, probably burns a fair chunk of CPU to do it ;). I know I've heard other cases over the past 5 years or so; that's the only one I've heard recently or can check, but I wouldn't be too surprised if there were others. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
