For the archives: Judging by the frequency with which I was seeing killall failing to send a signal and the fact I haven't seen it happen since I applied this patch, I'm 99.9999% confident that this was indeed the bug I was running into. Hopefully everybody else is sending signals to specific pids rather than using killall during log rotation like I am. :-) -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
