Both systems as installed from source. (-current plus or minus a month) null-modem seraial cable between the ports. port on target is sio1. flags are 0xc0 (reserve for gdb and use for gdb). trace in previous mail is extracted from gdb via ktrace, so it is getting all the bytes but somehow failing to process them. It's slowly been getting worse (across many pairs of machines) over the last few years. finally today it just doesn't work at all. I've used this pair of machines many times before. usually it takes "luck" to get synced up but once it's synced, it's solid. >Received on Tue Dec 04 2007 - 04:27:40 UTC
