To permit the hardware to catch single bit errors.
ECC is a better version of this, which permits the hardware to
correct single bit errors, and catch multiple bit errors.

Hi,
Thanks for your report. Would you be able to grab me logs of the
connection that doesn't work (the latest ppp) and the one that works

According to mail archive, work on supporting wide-char functions was in
progress some time but then stopped.
May be is there some results of this work somewhere? Continue will better
than beginning from scratch.

Hi,
I have a PIII box with 4G phisical memory and FreeBSD 4.2 and it traps
while booting - "fatal trap 12 page fault". With less than 4G memory the
server is working good. There is no MAXMEM option in the kernel (as is by
default). What would you suggest to make this box running with 4G? May be,

As the matters stand, it's a heavily loaded working system and I can't
afford experimenting with any major system changes. Tweaking kernel, boot
loaded are allowed, but not major version upgrades.

May be let's look at the matter different way: what is the maximum
memory limit that can be handled without system upgrading? If it's 3.9G or
simiilar then this will solve the issue.

FWIW, I'd vote for "MFS"ing the TCP changes in -STABLE to RELENG_4_4. As
it stands right now 4.4 is kinda broken.

Hi all.
Does anyone have ANY suggestions on how to determine where the
kernel/program is when the system freezes??? Even hardware solutions,
such as the infamous paperclip across two pins will do.
I am trying to track down what appears to be a kernel freeze problem,
but alas, debuggers, et.al. a

Alexander,
I had experienced this problem before. It is most likely that you are running
out of page table pages. Try changing NKPT in /sys/i386/include/pmap.h to 64.
That worked for me.

Hi,
I received the following email regarding terminal

I will add this to the rxvt port if I get positive
feedback.
I believe it is correct but I thought I should ask

While compiling a debug kernel, I forgot to set the flag of sio0 to
0x80. Is there anyway I can fix this quickly without recompiling
the kernel? Thanks,

Hi all,
Aside from manually re-adding local changes, is there a way to avoid
cvsup to replace files (that have been manually changed in the FreeBSD
repos) when there are local branches ?
ie: Someone recently replaced:
Replace src/contrib/gcc/config/alpha/freebsd.h,v
Replace src/contrib/gcc/conf
