If I read your e-mail right, you're referring to reported issues regarding the new user space malloc implementation in 7.x. However, the 7.0 release is still well over a year away. The new malloc implementation is not present in 6.x, and I wouldn't expect a merge to the 6.x branch any time soon, if ever. Unless you were planning to run 7.x in production in the next year, something I generally wouldn't recommend without very careful consideration, I'm not sure how this affects your decision regarding FreeBSD versions to run -- neither of the upcoming FreeBSD 5.5 or FreeBSD 6.1 releases would be affected in any way. Perhaps there has been a misunderstanding? Robert N M WatsonReceived on Thu Feb 23 2006 - 20:00:16 UTC
