Nobody chooses to work with MS, they merely take the job that's offered

ls can't access the files either, so I don't see how that could rectify

Is there a way (kernel or userspace... doesn't matter) that gdb/ddd
could be invoked when a program is about
to dump core, or perhaps on a certain signal (that the app could deliver
to itself when required). The latter case
is what I need right now, as I have to debug an app that breaks

Nobody seems interested in the spinlock bugs in usb so I'm trying to
track it down myself. I have a copy of an oops (posted earlier) but it
doesn't give the line number of the error, so it's impossible to find
out where it's failing.
Will kdb be any help? Is it a source debugger or just a gl
I've enabled spinlock debugging, and generated a nice oops... The USB
system is definately doing something wrong somewhere.

ksymoops 2.3.7 on i686 2.4.2-ac26. Options
If an application calls the USBDEVFS_SUBMITURB ioctl to submit a read,
when the async completion routine is called, the kernel goes into a hard
deadlock (no response to ping, etc.). I've narrowed it down to the
async_completed routine in usb.c. That's the only place where spinlocks
are used.

Leaving interrupts enabled does help a little, but the machine is stil

OK I see that safe_halt() will re-enable interrupts. However this is only
called in S1. If your machine gets as far as S3 you have...
for (;;) {
unsigned long time;
unsigned long
I've been trying to track down what makes ACPI kill the system in 2.4.1.
In the acpi_idle function (drivers/acpi/cpu.c), it seems to spend most
of its time with interrupts disabled, only enabling them to check
need_resched occasionally.
In the 'sleep1' state the following code is executed:
In my wifes' machine 2.4.1 (both vanilla and -ac2) enabling ACPI causes
the machine to run so slowly it's unusable. On my machine it's OK.
2.4.0 worked fine, so something has changed between 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 that
broke it. I couldn't find anything in dmesg that looked any different,
though.

That doesn't affect huge numbers of websites.
In the UK two of the largest ISPs - BT Internet and Freeserve - have
ECN-blocking
firewalls. So does theregister.co.
