In short, the proposed BUG_ON() prevents the memory corruption because it is hit before something bad can happen. The result is that just the process in question will be killed (and a tty is not released), but only that BUG_ON() prevents that something _really_ bad happens. I hope I could describe it now clearly. ;) Regards, Alexander -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
