I think it is caused by the vchans, but it will also depend on where things land in the kernel heap. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes not. I think the problem with my patch is that the CHN_F_RUNNING flag isn't set on the channel that I thought it was, so the desired interrupt routine isn't getting run. I'm having a real hard time understanding how this stuff all hangs together, which is making it difficult to do a proper fix.Received on Wed Jan 07 2004 - 23:24:33 UTC
