It's Bosko's workaround. I have a binary patch with two .o's (machdep.o and locore.o) that I've given a couple of people who agreed not to disassemble it which contains a fix based on my understanding of the problem; it worked for them. Being binary, it's not really appropriate to -current any more. Bosko's is preferred, because it doesn't disclose the nature of the bug, so it's OK to pass around as source code. -- TerryReceived on Thu May 08 2003 - 20:34:06 UTC
