I like your idea. Why don't you write up a white paper and we'll review it
at the next staff meeting?

If we're going to talk about 'health' for a machine and it's components, it

Thank you for your answer,
It's difficult to believe that nothing more intuitive and immediate can be
done to get the kernel stack of any process from a GDB session on a kernel
crash dump. Does it mean that this is something that nobody ever need until
now ?
Also, is there a mean to ask GDB to du

Actually, I finally found it. One of the function calls I pulled from a
library someone else wrote used mkstemps(), and didn't bother to discard the
descriptor when it was done.
I had originally thought the problem to be in my code, but, it wasn't. I fixed
the other code, and the problem was so

Oh, and another thing: a kernel panicing is unacceptable, even with bad
hardware (except possibly for hardware faults. There is not a lot you
can do about those).
We've found one non-trivial bug, and I have the feeling that we are
looking at another one (possibly a stack or device list corruptio

First of all, you are not wasting my time (I _asked_ for the info,
right?). More probably it is the other way around with you having to
crash you machine all the time ... :-)
Second the info your supplying is good quality. Thanks for that.

I'm not sure either :) Maybe everyone else uses gui frontend which reads

OK, let's make it a bit clearer !
I use a private scheme to interact with the 'ipintr' isr. The two following
routines are expected to be called either by our modified version of 'ip_input'
at network SWI level or at user level.
